LINK Sanders Hammers GOP Senator for Agenda Risking Social Security, Medicare

(I can't remember a time in my lifetime when republicans weren't trying to get rid of Social Security and Medicare, and trying to shift the tax burden from the rich onto working people.)

Sen. Bernie Sanders hammered a top Republican senator on Friday for unveiling an agenda that would hike taxes on millions of Americans and potentially jeopardize Social Security and Medicare.

He mocked Republicans after Sen. Rick Scott of Florida unilaterally unveiled a GOP agenda that Democrats are seizing on to cast Republicans as out-of-touch with American families. It contained a proposal that would compel every American to pay some income tax, as well as a plan that would require Congress to reauthorize programs like Social Security and Medicare every five years.

Senators know that they will collect huge pensions, not only Federal, but since most were in state government, state pensions as well as medical benefits. Let them come after Social Security and Medicare after they divest themselves of all their taxpayer funded perks.
