As the need to raise the debt ceiling looms over Democrats and Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday there will be “a clean debt ceiling“ increase.
McCarthy has said the two programs are off the table in negotiations and Republicans dismissed Biden’s claims.
Biden has singled out Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., for a proposal he put forward that would sunset all government programs, including Social Security and Medicare, after five years. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,"Unfortunately, that was the Scott plan, that's not a Republican plan," McConnell said on a Kentucky radio program. Other Republicans are also distancing themselves from the idea that they would support cutting the programs.
“They keep bringing up this canard about Republicans wanting to end or cut or put on the chopping block Social Security, nothing could be further from the truth.” said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures. House Republicans have yet to put forward their plan on exactly what spending cuts they are proposing in talks with the president and congressional Democrats, butchair of the House Oversight Committee, told ABC’s This Week that any plan will not include any cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
