Title: MAGA Republicans’ Plan to Force Social Security and Medicare Cuts
Post by: rhayder on November 06, 2022, 11:41:46 AM

When MAGA Republicans say that they will cut Social Security and Medicare, the American people and the media should take their threats seriously.

Less than factual with a Left-leaning bias.  Not exactly a credible source.

The "article" is an opinion piece, not fact.

There are actual quotes and recordings of MAGA leaders saying they will introduce legislation to phase out social security.

I notice you didn't offer any of those recordings, not one, to back up that claim.

p.s.  MAGA isn't a Party or formal political group.  How can MAGA have "leaders?"

Democrats Misleadingly Claim ‘Republicans’ Plan’
Would ‘End’ Social Security, Medicare

Quote
As part of his plan to downsize the federal government, Republican Sen. Rick Scott says he wants all
federal legislation to “sunset” in five years, and “If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.”
Well, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid were all created by legislation. And now Democrats are
saying Republicans want to end those programs.

But Scott, who is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, says he doesn’t want to
end those programs, and he doesn’t know any Republican legislators who do.

Rather, Scott says he wants to “review,” “fix” and “preserve” those social programs so that they are
financially solvent for the long term. Scott has not detailed how exactly he wants to change the programs,
and whether that might mean fewer benefits. Nonetheless, Democrats go too far in ads and social media
claims that say Scott, and all Republicans by extension, want to “end” or “phase out” those popular programs.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell flatly said that, if the Republicans win control of the Senate, sunsetting
Social Security and Medicare “would not be a part of our agenda.”

MAGA currently owns the Republican Party.


Answer the question.

I'll repeat it, since you're kinda slow ...

"MAGA isn't a Party or formal political group.  How can MAGA have "leaders?""
Title: Re: MAGA Republicans’ Plan to Force Social Security and Medicare Cuts
Post by: Flapp_Jackson on November 07, 2022, 08:53:39 PM
MAGA is the Republican Party. The Republican Party is MAGA

That's an opinion, and only an opinion.

The FACT is, MAGA is an acronym for a political slogan -- nothing more.  It was popularized most recently by Candidate/President Trump, but has been used in the past by candidates and presidents from BOTH parties.

Just because you write something doesn't make it true.

Build what back better.  Very few things needed fixing until that idiot took office.

Stupid dumb ass messed up everything.

His first week in office was spent setting fire to everything Trump accomplished, believing everything Trump had done was wrong.

Biden wanted change for change sake, not to make anything "better".

Good article.

MAGA is the latest name the dems use for the fictitious Boogeyman in order to spread panic, irrational fear and lies -- all to win an election.

Quote
Dan McLaughlin recently pointed out that the “Ultra-MAGA” agenda in Biden’s framing consists
of cuts to entitlements and tax breaks for the wealthy — which is exactly what he warned the
Romney–Ryan ticket would pursue in 2012. Dan noted: “That suggests that he and his team
know perfectly well that they’re just making the same old partisan election-year arguments and
slapping a red hat on it.”

Biden all but admitted as much on Friday. After describing “Mega-MAGA” as the new, new threat,
the president described its agenda as the same old, same old: “the kind of policies that have
failed the country before, and they’ll fail it again.”

But Mega-Romney doesn’t have the same ring.

i remember the good old days when The Tea Party was being denigrated and called a domestic terrorist organization.  Good times!   :geekdanc: :thumbsup:
