jim, that s of course the democrat talking point. no, no, it s in the plan. it s in the plan. here s the thing about reality for a second senator, it s not a democratic talking point. it s in the plan. and also in the plan it says we ought to every year talk about exactly how we re going to fix medicare and social security. meanwhile the feud between senator mitt romney and congressman george santos is showing no signs of calming down. it began tuesday night ahead of the state of the union when romney chastised santos for standing front and center as the president and other dignitaries walked in despite santos numerous controversies. romney spoke to the media after the speech calling santos a sick puppy. i don t recall precisely the words but i don t think you had to be there, i don t think he should be in congress and certainly shouldn t be in the aisle trying to shake the hand of the president of the united
So that would raise taxes on half of americans and potentially sunset programs like medicare, medicaid and social security. why would you propose something like that in an election year? sure. that s, of course, the democrat talking points. it s a no, no, it s in the plan. it s in the plan. well, here s but here s this thing about reality for a second. but, senator, but, senator, hang on. it s not a democratic talking point. it s in the plan. also in the plan, it says we ought to, every year, talk about exactly how we re going to fix medicare and social security. okay. john susan page. the reason rick scott put that out there, to get attention. in that way he got it. he s got it. he s got attention. from fox news. yes, kudos to the interviewer for following up. oh, yeah. no doubt. and he stayed on it, didn t he? yeah.
On the senate floor saying he wants to cut medicare and social security. i say let s fix it. but we re not even talking about it. i d say in my plan, we ought to have a report from congress. what will you do to fix medicare and social security? i want to make sure we keep it. biden just signed a bill that s going to make medicare in a worst position. so there s some simple things to do to fix inflation. he s doing none of them. harris: so senator, i just want to drill down on this point because democrats are feasting off the part of your plan that says all americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game even if a small amount currently over half of americans pay no income tax. that s from one of the bullet points in your plan. senator mcconnell has said there s no way that will be part of the republican senate majority agenda. what is your response to the president of the united states who points to you and says that this is now the way that republicans are being repres
Talk about exactly how we are going to fix medicare and social security. here is what is happening. no one that i know of wants to sunset medicare and social security but what we are doing is we don t even talk about it. medicare goes bankrupt in 4 years, social security goes bankrupt in 12 years. i think we ought to figure out how we preserve those programs. every program that we care about we ought to stop and take the time to preserve those programs. i i just fought the postal bill because it put more responsibility on medicare and took it off the postal service and put medicare in a worst position. now, let s go let s talk about taxes for a second. i will put my record up against anybody on tax cuts. i cut taxes a hundred times as governor. here is what is unfair, we have people that could go to work and have figured out how to have government pay their way. that s not right. they ought to have some skin in the game. i don t think if it s a dollar.
