At the State of the Union address, Biden claimed some Republicans have proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Are these programs at risk? See potential bias and similarities in coverage from abcnews, FoxNews, Newsweek:
Biden stated, “instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I am not saying that is a majority. Anybody who doubts it, contact my office and I will give you a copy of the proposal.” After some Republicans heckled this comment, Biden stated, “so folks, as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare is off the books now,” which garnered applause.An article in ABC News quoted House Speaker Rep.
Responding to Biden's allegations, Fox News reported on records from Biden’s tenure as a Delaware senator, where on numerous occasions he proposed legislation to “sunset” federal programs, including Social Security and Medicare, and require them to be regularly reapproved.
