Trump attacks Nikki Haley from the left on Social Security, Medicare

“You've got the leader of the Republican Party making the same case as the Democratic president—that American voters should not support these prominent Republicans because they want to cut Social Security and Medicare,” says Chris Hayes. “It's a perfect window into the conflict roiling the Republican Party.”

STOP CALLING Social Security an entitlement!! I have been paying into it for 45 years

[MySpace]

Social Security is not a handout from the Government, it's an insurance paid into by workers.

[pathof]

STOP CALLING SS AND MC ENTITLEMENTS!!!

[ericdickerson]

Let's sunset tax cuts for the rich, eliminate campaign contributions.

[TheBilza]

Did she ever let you grab it, Donnie?

[mercedeshaecker]

Isn’t Scott the same person who seems to have just lost millions of dollars of the RNC? Maybe this is how he plans to put the money back.

[Dragoninja]

Clever Joe got the GOP to agree that Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid is off the table from Spending Cuts.

[yvonnedias]

Why Ron Johnson not forfeit his salary and gold plated medical benefits ? So he thinks he is entitled to the perks and American citizens who have paid into Social security should not receive what they have paid into. Incredible how voters have voted for Ron Johnson who lives a luxurious life, owns mansions and even a jet. How wealthy is he. Not only him, his kids too own jets. And this specimen wants to cut social security for older Americans.

[wiegandmaechtlen]

It's general knowledge that Johnson isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier!

[goss]

And those right-wingers in the GOP won't want their own unjustified pensions cut back...

[CB-wqwp]

If it's a Ponzi scheme, give me my money back!!! Every dollar, plus interest, taken out of every paycheck.

"All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again." - Imagine Congress having to write and pass a new law every 5 years to criminalize murder or human trafficking. Now imagine Congress having to write and pass a new law every 5 years to implement federal taxes. I'm guessing he would also want to sunset the Constitution and force Congress to re-write and re-pass those laws every 5 years.

[NMAMxRE]

Ron Johnson is 67, while he berates it as a Ponzi scheme, someone should ask him are you currently taking social security? If not would you opt out of the program?

[stefaniesante]

So glad republicans are always looking out for the millionaires and billionaires. Reassuring.

[davidwallace]

if house republiCONS dont like SS then they should vote to give SS funds back to the social security administration.

[shelleydwyer-murphy]

Dearest Chris, they are not "entitlements." They are earned benefits. Language matters. 🖖✌

[batgurrl]

Watching them ‘eat their own’ will be a full time endeavor seemingly. Did I miss something, or has Trump started calling “Nikki “by her birth name yet.

[you_are_soul]

Scott said, "it's no less irresponsible than a Ponzi scheme" But a Ponzi scheme is not irresponsible, it's illegal!

[minello]

But how much is spent on the military every year, please include that on any graphs

[MsBerries]

Okay Congress, go ahead and cut social security. We cut your pensions, your healthcare, and your salaries. No safety nets for you either
