Examining Rick Scott's Claim That Medicare, Social Security Will Soon Go 'Bankrupt' - FactCheck.org
Sen. Rick Scott went too far in claiming that Medicare will go "bankrupt" in four years and Social Security in 12 years. Government trustees project that certain trust funds would become depleted by then, but payments would continue, albeit at a reduced rate.

He looks a lot fitter than trump ever looked, and a lot more aware.

Are you denying biden accused Republican of doing that or the fact Republicans bood him when he made the accusation? Today the Speaker of the House reaffirmed Republicans have no intentions upon messing with social security or Medicare.

Oh ya. Best part of the whole thing. The democrats can no longer use that one as a talking way to scare misinformed voters. That was his main tactic that worked on a lot of people. My mother took the bait, but she's seeing the light finally,
. If people didn't take the bait the Republicans would control the Senate now too.Here's just one where he twisted the truth.

sounds like a few of them are giving it more than a passing thought, to me...i won't say all of them were thinking about it, but more than a couple definitely were, and still would.

and then it was just hilarious when Biden played them like a flopping carp, maneuvering them into saying EXACTLY what he wanted them to say, on live television.

And we're supposed to believe them? They've lied their entire political careers, and most likely a lot longer.
They break promises as quickly as they can make them. They made a public statement today as a group, on live television, and i guarantee you, they're already trying to figure out how to get around that.

I know. There's a few nuts in both parties. Notice that's FOX News calling out their own right! That's one of the things I like about them. He wasn't easy on him either.ummm

I heard nothing about "the fentanyl crisis " . Did anyone hear how he expects to curve inflation? What were his thoughts on the how he plans on handling the Southern Boarder? I'm definitely not sold on a re-election. I don't even feel he would get the needed support from the party. Just my thoughts.

Because the supply of fentanyl is the problem? Maybe the users could get alittle credit as well.

Biden did not lie. Repugs are trying to lull the voter into complacency with their usual rather customized set of facts. They fully intend to slash payouts. They call this “buttressing” or “shoring up” the system.
Have you heard them even once discuss the tax raises needed to do something real for the program?
Me neither.
They intend to gut the program.
