Saying you have a "bill" and actually having a solution are two different things. Where are the specifics? What are the assumptions?

If your proposal is to tax any Congressman's wall street earnings at 75% I'm all for it.

Thanks to Republicans' tax giveaways for billionaires, Social Security has seen the worst drop in its long-term solvency in more than 30 years. Speaker Mike Johnson says the quiet part out loud: Republicans will CUT Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare next year if they remain in control.

🤔 "A BIG, BEAUTIFUL BETRAYAL"? One of the things this bill does is stop payments to illegal aliens. Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, SNAP... the return of funds to American citizens is a betrayal? @SteveGruberShow

🚨A new report shows the GOP tax plan doesn't just cut Medicaid & SNAP - it puts your EARNED BENEFITS at risk. Their bill hurts Social Security's solvency, which means you could see a 20% benefit cut. Republicans: Vote NO and work with us to enhance Social Security, not cut it!

No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. No tax on Social Security. Except: all taxed with narrow carve-outs, and all of it expires end of 2028.⁣ ⁣ The one part of the tax bill that doesn't expire? Tax cuts for the wealthy. Those are permanent.⁣ ⁣ Populism with an asterisk.⁣ ⁣

NEW: Trump just announced a new “no taxes on Social Security” policy. It’s actually a $1.6 trillion cut to Social Security and Medicare in disguise. The plan would cut Social Security benefits by 25% for the poorest seniors, and give the wealthiest retirees a 46% tax cut.

House Republicans want to a pass a bill today to cut funding from Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and the VA — programs working Americans deserve and rely on. All so they can afford to give tax cuts to their billionaire friends. It’s bullshit.

Republicans want to destroy the solvency of Social Security so that they can get rid of it. Social Security is an EARNED BENEFIT. And I will never stop fighting to protect it.
