Ron Johnson suggests ending Medicare and Social Security as Mandatory Spending Programs

What he said isn’t unreasonable lol, he said that the programs should be shifted to discretionary spending the way the VA’s budget is allocated by congress so that congress has the opportunity (and is on the hook for) fixing these programs and making sure they don’t go bankrupt. Classic clickbait title which is not remotely what he said.

I’m not saying the policy is bad but it’s still dumb to say something like this in an election year .

And the first chance Republicans had total control they would opt not to fund these programs.

At minimum I think they would start imposing means-testing and other eligibility restrictions.

Run this quote 24/7 in every media market.

The Republicans are going to lie about us. We damn well better be willing to tell the truth about them.
