my congressional republican friends led by rick scott have a different approach. he s actually introduced a plan he wants to raise taxes on working families by an average of $1,500 a year, put medicare and social security, medicaid excuse me, social security and medicaid on the chopping block every five years. in other words, every five years they re going to no longer exist unless they vote them back into existence. i disagree with that. what in god s name are they doing? i ll work with anyone, democrat, republican, independent, to deliver real solutions and real savings for the american people, not take money out of their pockets. now the other other element i d like to address that has impacts on inflation is to lower the deficit. the reason this matters to families is because reducing the deficit is another way to ease inflation. my friends on the republican side like to paint me as the big spender. but let s look at the facts. facts matter. under my predecessor, th
