If a Republican-controlled Congress comes for your Social Security benefits in the next few years, don’t say they didn’t warn you.

They did.

Sen. Mike Lee of Utah brings to a round dozen the number of sitting GOP senators who have said, quite openly, that they want to put Social Security on the chopping block one way or another.

As Social Security benefits are looking at a 20% cut without new taxes, we may be talking about major changes to America’s retirement plan.

1. Here's the thing.

Republicans paraded around re-criminalizing abortion and a lot of us thought it was to get votes. They got the votes and started to do it. It wasn't rhetoric.

We can't assume SS and Medicare won't be touched. They're on a roll. Not unless enough independent voters stop them.

for those at the top. After all, we are old, we can just go ahead and die already.

5. They will deliver the senior vote to the Democrats in 2024

With Democrats controlling the Executive Branch, the law will not be changed, but the Republicans will expose themselves fully.
