Yes here. At least that's how it worked before you guys broke all the unions. Now labor doesn't have a seat at the table. In Germany they do. In America they used to.

FACT CHECK: JOE BIDEN HAS ADVOCATED CUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY FOR 40 YEARS
“I tried with Senator Grassley back in the 1980s to freeze all government spending, including Social Security, including everything,” Biden said in 1995.
And after a Republican wave swept Congress in 1994, Biden’s support for cutting Social Security, and his general advocacy for budget austerity, made him a leading combatant in the centrist-wing battle against the party’s retreating liberals in the 1980s and ’90s.
“When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well,” he told the Senate in 1995. “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.” (A freeze would have reduced the amount that would be paid out, cutting the program’s benefit.)
I have been listening to Republicans for 40 years now boy. I know how they feel about SS and Medicare.Biden isn't a source, he is a politician, he will lie and has done so in the past and will again in the future.
Key Facts
Biden claimed some Republicans want to “sunset” Social Security and Medicare in his State of the Union Address Tuesday, prompting a wave of boo-ing from Republicans.
Biden implied Republicans advocating for cuts to Medicare and Social Security were making the issue part of negotiations on raising the debt ceiling.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has repeatedly stated cuts to Medicare and Social Security are not part of Republican conditions for raising the debt ceiling.
Biden’s remarks are widely speculated to be a response to a proposal from Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) suggesting all federal programs “sunset,” or expire, after five years unless they are renewed, though Scott’s proposal never mentions Social Security or Medicare specifically.
Some Democrats, including Biden, referenced Scott’s proposal during midterm elections as evidence that Republicans wanted to end the programs.
There you are blaming unions. Notice those union companies didn't relocated to Alabama? Why not? I'll tell you why. Because ANY American worker was asking for their fair share and the corps didn't want to pay it.In America we used to buy our own products just like Germany and most European countries do today. We opted for cheap Chinese crap because union made American products cost so much more.
Yet another uninformed dupe.That’s bullshit
I can assure no cuts to SS are forthcoming, though O cut it when he stained the WH. This is yet another issue promoted by the establishment to divide Americans. You must see the pattern by now.We knew government can come up with money/funding
Like I've always said that Republicans for YEARS have said they hate the program. But when they kill it, they'll blame Democrats. You're already doing it.
So now you are saying Republicans want to save/strengthen social security and it's us liberals who want to privatize social security and medicare?
HA! You guys need to get better at lying.
That's the one thing Trump did. He exposed your dishonesty and hypocricy. He was a different type of Republican which is what attracted a lot of people to him. But then that means those people don't like traditional Republicans. Which you have been your entire life. Today you can't decide are you a Bush Republicans or a Trump REpublican. I guess it depends. You reserve the right to flip flop.
You have clearly pivoted to being pro social programs. Should we call you socialists now?

Yes, I remember Republicans in the 2000's loved China, dollar stores and Walmart. Us liberals didn't.
Your problem is the D Party is no different from the R Party. Both support the wealthy and do little for the people. You can’t get to the right of Pelosi or Schumer. You must know this.Actually that's not true. That's why Democrats want to pass a law that companies posting a job need to post the salary. Why don't they? Because this is how they get away with paying women and minorities less.
So a smart employee should worry about what everyone else is making. If you aren't, how do you know you aren't being underpaid? Oh yea, you're a white man.
Again, that's not always true. My brother is a VP of HR as you all know. He had some people under him bragging that they were able to JEW this guy out of a raise. They know he's not going anywhere so they paid him less. My brother said pay him fair market value.
So I guess it depends on the company you work for. I'm sure Henry Ford could have gotten away with paying only $4 hr. He decided to pay $5. So it was what the CEO decided. So you're wrong.
NO you don't know as YOU have HEARD everything through the BIASED MSM!I have been listening to Republicans for 40 years now boy. I know how they feel about SS and Medicare.

LAST FUCKING CENTURY dopeDo include facts when speaking with partisans, they only spout party line.
Why even do that if it's automatic?However, even if the plan passed, Scott has said he would expect Medicare and Social Security to be reauthorized every time.
Still waiting on what is fair share!!! Come on man got no balls?I don't think the state should FORCE a company to pay more.
Government can be pro or anti union. A Republican government would make it harder for labor to organize.
So it's up to the employees to unionize or go work somewhere else.
Another thing government can do is not do business with a company if it's CEO make more than 35X the lowest paid worker. Or something like that.
In 1965 it was 15 to one. Last week, the Economic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan thinktank, released a report on the increasing pay gap between chief executives and workers.
Today it's 351 times the average worker. Wake up you idiots.

NO HE DOESN'T. That's the part you keep refusing to believe. No reasonable, sane, economist wants to end either program. They simply want adequate funding for them. Reforming the programs, not "retiring" them.
Nor should the country be wasting time re-authorizing them every 5 years. How can you solve current problems when you keep re-litigating past problems. You're still re-litigating the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act 60 years after they were passed. You're re-litigating Roe v. Wade and have created a total mess with that one which will take a generation to sort out.
How can you deal with your current problems when you're still dealing with issues from the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's?????
Again, freeze it. Fund it from existing revenue over 55, cut off and create a private option with mandatory pay in. Not sure why people aren’t intelligent to understand the problemThis is one of the few times I actually agree with you. If we want these programs (and most Americans do) then they have to be funded plain and simple. Well if it's so easy to do, why is nobody doing it?
If we greatly increased the employee/ employer contributions to save the program and make it last, people would be complaining it costs too much. They would demand something different. Now if that happens, the Democrats are screwed. They love when people depend on them for everything. It's what gives them power.
