There's a saying that Social Security is the third rail of American politics.
That still holds true.
Just look at the fallout from President Biden's State of the Union address, in which he accused some Republicans — "not a majority" — of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare.
It enraged Republicans, but Biden achieved what he wanted in his moments of sparring with them, two things:
get members of the right to heckle and shout, making him appear above the fray and reasonable to create a clear contrast and
make it look like he got Republicans on the record in a high-profile setting to agree not to cut the entitlements.

Let's be honest about the Federal Debt. Only 7.5 trillion is owed to foreign owners of our bonds/debt.
So who owns the rest.. YOU DO!
Military Retirement, VA Pensions, VA Disability, Medicare, Social Security, civilian pension plans,personal savings, States and Cities just to get started.

Because it's a Joe Biden bottom third of his class lying SOB flashback weekend!
The same kind of guy who said that his son died in Iraq and won the bronze star. President Biden is so senile he's doubling down and forgetting what he said in his first 20 years as the radical moderate Democrat senator.
