The 3 Biggest Lies From Biden’s State of the Union Address

By Justin Haskins 

 

FTA:

 

Lie 3: “Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years.”

 

One of the most dramatic moments of the State of the Union came immediately after Biden accused Republicans of planning to “sunset” Medicare and Social Security.

 

As soon as Biden uttered those words, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy shook his head, some House Republicans shouted “no,” and congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) yelled “liar!”

 

The response from Republicans prompted Biden to go off-script and eventually acknowledge — in one of the most bizarre moments we’ve seen in decades at a State of the Union Address — that Republicans do not support eliminating Social Security and Medicare.

 

“Look, folks, the idea is that we’re not going to be — we’re not going to be moved into being threatened to default on the debt if we don’t respond,” Biden said. “So, folks, as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare are off the books now, right? All right. We got unanimity.”

 

The truth is, Republicans never threatened to eliminate Social Security or Medicare. Some Republicans, such as Florida Senator Rick Scott, have said they would support a plan to sunset all federal programs every five years, but that does not mean they support eliminating them permanently. Instead, as Scott has plainly said, the goal of the sunset provision would be to “fix” and “preserve” programs like Social Security and Medicare, key responsibilities of Congress.

 

It is unfortunate that Biden chose to use this important moment in history to dishonestly attack his political opponents while exaggerating his meager achievements. It was a golden opportunity to move the country in a more positive, unified direction, and the president wasted it.

And Biden used the word Sunset, just like Scott.  What's the problem?

I think it's telling that the tactics used by so many here are roundly rejected when used by those with an opposing viewpoint.  The faux outrage is amusing.

You do realize that such humans exist, right?  It kinda puts the question of 2 genders in a different light.  Everything isn't black or white.  Often things are gray.  It's more difficult to think that way but it's the way it is.  Disapproval from you is a badge of honor.

When you think about it, stop and really think about it.

I thought you were talking about humans who exist based on your previous post.  I was going to include Sally Jesse Raphael but I’m not certain she is still with us.  
 

Still, wow, when you think about it…

I wondered why you only mentioned humans that I don't admire (Jimmy Buffet is just not good imo).

We don't have to watch some old man trying to read a teleprompter to know the state of the union. Go outside and see this country going down the crapper. Has this country ever been worse?
