Twitter flagged a tweet Sunday from President Biden that claimed Republicans threatened to cut Social Security and Medicare – a popular White House notion on the debt ceiling.
Twitter flagged a tweet Sunday from President Biden that claimed Republicans threatened to cut Social Security and Medicare., stressed late last year when the White House tweeted that Biden's"leadership" is what prompted a large increase in Social Security payments. Twitter readers noted that it was high inflation that led to a high increase in Social Security payments, and the White House ultimately deleted that tweet.
McCarthy noted in January his"Commitment to America" plan details the need to strengthen Medicare and Social Security, not cut them, as Biden and other Democrats have claimed. The White House responded to the comments from McCarthy by noting previous efforts from Republicans to cut the programs as they attempt to reform them.
