Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) announced a new bill on Friday to increase funding for Social Security and Medicare and institute a higher standard for making cuts to the entitlement programs, following President Biden’s pointed accusations during his annual address before Congress on Tuesday. “I have been fighting since day one to protect and preserve programs…

The same story. they need to be pulled up. >> so annie, are folks supposed to believe all of what they hear and none of what they see? what is with the backtracking? what are they saying? >> i am glad you showed us, clubs especially senator johnston who talked about you know cuts the medicare and social security during the campaign. he very quickly had to walk that back during the senate campaign. you, know part of me does wonder whether there is some paradigm shift going on? i mean the republic...

White house, like he would talk about the rick scott plan as much as he could, because he knew that it was -- had the potential to help democratic candidates. its why mitch mcconnell the republican leader didnt want it but when it comes to the here and now and policy, youre right. most republicans dont want to cut these entitlement programs, but there is a negotiation that will start very soon about where to cut spending and hes trying to make the point, okay, you dont want to cut here which is ...

Sn good luck in your senior year. >> but jonah, you agree with phil klein of the "national review" that both parties are being irresponsible on social security and medicare by saying no one should touch any of this, there is an issue here in terms of their solvency. >> thats what was gross about the whole thing to me, is there was this roaring consensus about denying the reality that these entitlement programs are going bankrupt and that we need to do something about them and joe biden did not t...

That four in ten americans feel as though they are worse off financially. and heres the -- look, i dont blame the white house for going after this and using this. its leerclearly resonating wit democrats. the problem, once people recognize what the president says about republicans cutting these entitlement programs when they realize thats not the case, then theyre really going to be left in a lurch trying to find a message that actually works. because this is not a true argument for the democrat...

Seniors, but biden remains skeptical amid a republican push to reduce spending while theyre talking about passing a budget and lifting the debt limit so biden is sticking to his rules ahead of expected 2024 announcement. >> offended, liar, liar. >> colorful exchange on the house floor tuesday ended with apparent deal to protect senior entitlement programs but bind doesnt buy it yet and citing the plan floated gutfelled florida senator rick scott. >> maybe hes changed his mind and maybe hes seen ...

Social security in these very popular entitlement programs. so, i think it puts biden in a good position, not only going into 2024, but going into these debt ceiling negotiations as well because you have republicans repeatedly saying this is not what we want to do. this is not what we want to do, but if youre explaining, youre sort of losing, i think. >> mitch mcconnell views this and this feud with him and rick scott has now been going on for quite some time, and its very, very heated, by the w...

It was widely expected that President Biden would mention entitlement programs but that part didn’t go according to plan.

Who proposed similar things at least looking to social security and medicare because they do drive the federal deficit, there should be adult conversations about entitlement programs and the president even ad libbed several times, i know it is not the majority of you, i know it is only a small number of you but they still got back in the fight. look, it is a reminder of the movie washing chen -- lack of decorum. but also the reminder of the policy that the president went through are not going to...
