Ted Lieu @tedlieu 19mProof below that President Biden prevented Republicans from cutting Medicare and Social Security. Thank you @POTUS!
The Recount @therecount
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces he is assembling a commission to look at potential cuts in entitlement programs:
The president walled off all the others. The majority driver of the budget is mandatory spending. Its Medicare, Social Security, interest on the debt.
MCCARTHY: "We only got to look at 11% of the budget to find these cuts. We have to look at the entire budget."
FAULKNER: "Why didn't you see the WHOLE budget?"
MCCARTHY: "The President walled off all the others."
FAULKNER: "He wouldn't let you see? Wow!"

(1,866 posts)Not to mention it goes back on their word that they weren't going to touch SS, Medicare, and Medicaid. Then there's Kevin's admission yesterday that, if the Republicans were serious about cutting the budget they would have done it when they controlled both houses and the Presidency, but instead they added to it.
The Ads using Kevin's own words against him need to get on the air asap.
