Setting the Record Straight on Biden’s Lies

February 9, 2023 | News, Press Releases

Washington, D.C. – Joe Biden just delivered a speech riddled with lies about Sen. Rick Scott’s rescue America plan. Nowhere in the plan does it mention cutting Social Security and Medicare. The only person who wants to do that is Joe Biden. He pushed to cut Social Security and Medicare for over 20 YEARS.

Here are all the times Biden tried to defund Social Security and Medicare:

1. In 1984, Biden Proposed Freezing All Federal Spending, Including Medicare and Social Security Benefits, Because “The American People Are Not Stupid”
2. In 1975, Biden Proposed Sunsetting All Federal Programs Every Four Years
3. In October 1984, Biden Linked an Increase in the Debt Limit to a Freeze on All Federal Spending, Including Medicare and Social Security Benefits
4. Biden Cheatedon His Medicare Taxes to Fund a Luxury Lifestyle
5. In 1985, Biden Suggested Freezing All Federal Spending for Two Years
6. In 1995, Bidensaid, “When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant Veterans benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the government.”

Statement from Senator Rick Scott: “Joe Biden spent 20 years trying to slash Social Security and Medicare. Does he really think Americans are stupid enough to believe anything he said today? The President should accept my invitation to debate him on this issue. Floridians deserve to know the truth about Biden’s war on Social Security and Medicare.”
