Like how he promised not to try imposing a vaccine mandate?
@Jeff Padgett The federal vaccine mandate. Man, you’re already at three strikes my guy…please continue to embarrass yourself, it’s hilarious 😂
@Robert Allred He’s a bot
@The Morose Pittbull Figured that since he’s posted under numerous comments.
@Robert Allred I have seen an improvement with them hiding some but then you find guys like that just spamming like mad lol
@Tio Swift Yep, not to mention the attempted OSHA mandate.
You can expect him to do the exact opposite, just like when he promised 40 million Americans loan forgiveness knowing he didn’t have the authority to do it.
And who voted against it? The republicans,who have stock and interests in student loans. Bankers as well.
Well to be fair… um. Oh boy…
The question has never been completely cutting social security but what changes need to be made to ensure it’s survival. Things have changed significantly since social security began. For example, when social security was started there was like 10 workers for every 1 retiree, people weren’t living quite as long, and we actually had manufacturing jobs that employed millions of people. The president is creating boogeymen to try and scare everyone. No one has said anything about cutting social security entirely but to pretend changes don’t need to be made is foolish.
100% True Facts!!! When he was a Senator Potato Joe said he would have no problem taking money from the SSI fund!! Leftys are the Lowest IQ amongst us. They only know what they have been taught in the indoctrination centers called Gov.Ed run “schools”🤡🤡
I totally believe Brandon. You should too.
Seeing is believing
Like he promised to forgive student loans 🤣 … got em
In fact no, that’s a degenerate attempt at a whataboutism ‘gotcha’ statement. Just sayin. Thanks
Huh… you know it’s kinda funny considering he’s the only one who even said anything about it.
He came down to Florida before the midterms and told seniors that Republicans want to take all the benefits away from them, Osamabama Bin’ Bombin’ spouted the same lie in Georgia. Freaking shameless
“When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the government. And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time.”
– Joe Biden
@Argyle Dante Donovan
He sure didn’t, liar.
@Dark Brandon Let’s Go’ed Your Mom Pretty hard to quote incoherent sentences.
@Chris Lockwood
You managed ok with the big orange drool…
@Dark Brandon Let’s Go’ed Your Mom, lol. Look it up, little one. Don’t let the truth get in the way of your convoluted narrative.
@Argyle Dante Donovan
I looked it up. Whaddaya know, I’m correct.
It is already “cut” through the massive inflation we’re all dealing with.
The inflation is the great big tax. A tax on everything.
It belongs to us to begin with. Don’t start something you can’t finish.
That’s how social security was set up though.. it was set up to fail. Remember the same people who caused the 08 Market crash with Credit default swaps and credit traunches also created these programs…
Not really, it belongs to the feds.
@Troll Boss It belongs to Mohammed and Islam, the only tru God and religion!!
Translation: I’m going after them.
Considering he made it up the threat I guess he’s can beat his imagination
What a noble promise from someone who can literally keep it for what a few more months max?
My idea for keeping social security benefits from going broke is first, make it illegal to “ borrow “ from the fund by congress, then stop payments of over a certain amount of money. In other words nobody in the system get paid over , let’s say $7,000 per month and ZERO payments for people who have not worked HERE or illegal aliens!!
Therre are several solutions on the table and have been since the 1990’s. So why is sleepy Joe talking about it like he just thought of it? He was in the Senate 40+ years and had plenty of time to sponsor a bill to fix SSA but now he acts like it’s the Repubs fault?
The’ol lie potato just confirmed he’s cutting SSI.
Yes we are going to believe the guy who couldn’t even win the election fair and square. 😂
Biden DID win the election fair and square.
@Red Pyramid sure he did buddy 🤣
“Joe Biden on social security and Medicare”
He sure is old enough to be.
Yeah you sure can count on Joe to tell no lies. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brandon also vowed student loan forgiveness, uniting the country and no vaccine mandates.😂😂😂
He’s a liar. Truer words were never spoken. Joseph Robinette Biden is a liar. Always has been.
When a career establishment politician promises something, you already know it’s not true lmao
The house wants to cut entitlement’s start with all entitlement’s the representatives get when they leave Congress ! That is a main contribution to the depth of our budget! No security, No medical ,No retirement and no social security if they have over a million dollars in cash and assets. Remember it’s a honor to serve it shouldn’t be a lifetime job and this will discourage it.
