He said that 13 years ago.Mike Lee does.
Biden said he wanted to "freeze" SS & Medicare 25 years ago.
Are you going to hold both of them to their word?

Can't do that.I would freeze every spending program at last year’s level and then shave 1% off of that
Repeat every year till the budget is balanced
People are constantly dredging up things Biden said decades ago.He said that 13 years ago.

SSDI is separate from S.S. and funded until 2065.Medicare is 1.45% for the employer and 1.45% for the employee, or 2.9% total.
why ,do the more you make, you get .9% of medicare, why isn't it 1.45% for the employee or total 2.9% total?
- Single: $200,000
- Married filing jointly: $250,000

What is this SS cap.2022=147,000
2023=160,200
Why is there a cap on SS?
Mandatory is just an act of congress and subject to changeCan't do that.
The word MANDATORY kills that option.
He wants to "pull it out by the roots" and kill it. He wants to "phase out" Social Security. Not reform it.Nonsense
He wants to reform it
13 years ago.He wants to "pull it out by the roots" and kill it. He wants to "phase out" Social Security. Not reform it.
His words.
And joe biden wants to kill oil that this country needs to live onHe wants to "pull it out by the roots" and kill it. He wants to "phase out" Social Security. Not reform it.
His words.
So what you are saying is we should just eliminate The U.S. Constitution and start over.Of course if you do away with welfare, then more people would be working, thus putting money into the tax system. Those that dont want to work, dont get a dime, and when they get hungry and start stealing from others, should be shot on sight, thus eliminating them from other government programs like being put in prison and such. Empty the prisons of repeat offenders, by execution and you can start putting that money towards SS. Really easy to get the debt under control, just stop all the liberal compassion laws that end up killing people.
Biden signed more federal drilling permits than Trump or Obama.And joe biden wants to kill oil that this country needs to live on
Would you like to see him say it?
Thanks to democrat shutdown of the economy oil was in a slump when biden took officeBiden signed more federal drilling permits than Trump or Obama.
Oil production increased by 30 percent in Biden's first year, but only 20 percent in Trump's first year.
Let's see what Mike Lee does to Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.
Um...retard? It was Trump's shutdown.Thanks to democrat shutdown of the economy oil was in a slump when biden took office
The oil companies, along with Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, slow-walked their increases in production.It should have been an even greater increase in production if he was not a sworn enemy of fossil fuel
How so?
It is a simple fact that not raising the Social Security age to 70 is unsustainable.
We are living DECADES longer than our ancestors. We should be working longer.
Common fricking sense.
SSDI is separate from S.S. and funded until 2065.
Why raise the cap?Exactly. SS is easy to fix. Raise the cap, and add a year to the ages,
The SS fix is tougher.
My recommendation is to add a new Federal Sales Tax of about 4%. I don't see any other way to raise enough money.
Also, I want to see another "Grace Commission" to eliminate waste, and duplication in the Federal government.

#1 No we're not. Yes live expectancy has increased. But when you look at the more important data point of "How many years are people drawing the benefit?". No where near "decades".
#2 Increases in average life expectancy, once improvements in infant mortality are excluded, show increased life expectancy. True. That means more people are reaching retirement age.
WW
And S.S. tax increases have already taken the baby boomers into account.As Table 1 indicates, the average life expectancy at age 65 (i.e., the number of years a person could be expected to receive unreduced Social Security retirement benefits) has increased a modest 5 years (on average) since 1940. So, for example, men attaining 65 in 1990 can expect to live for 15.3 years compared to 12.7 years for men attaining 65 back in 1940.
(Increases in life expectancy are a factor in the long-range financing of Social Security; but other factors, such as the sheer size of the "baby boom" generation, and the relative proportion of workers to beneficiaries, are larger determinants of Social Security's future financial condition.)
It is sad the vaxxed are dying. Yes.They are killing themselves.
