    Biden and Obama spent a lot of months pursuing a deal with Republicans that would have cut Social Security and Medicare benefits. This is a matter of public record. They changed their tune in the latter years but the history is pretty clear on this.

        Context, please. Why? What was the tradeoff, if any?

        A budget balance was the trade off and a few 3% tax increase as opposed to a tax cut on the rich.

        McConnell is underwater and may not be in the Senate in 2021.

        Enough video evidence shows how Biden’s being particularly Trumpy abt his willingness to cut SS/Medicare. Also worth noting: In the oral hist, Obama aides openly discuss the WH putting entitlements on the table during the 2011 budget wars. Biden led those talks for two months. pic.twitter.com/8iRK1NQn6A

        People are also confusing gutting social security and technical parameters like COLA chained cpi (which regulates the growth rate in the benefit). It's lazy to conflate the two. And the Obama context was an attempt to secure tax increases on the rich to secure Medicare funding
