About a month ago, I heard very clearly, being reported in the news, that some GOP members were calling for an end to social security and/or Medicare, or calling for changes that could be misconstrued as ending social security and/or Medicare, at least in their present forms, and right, wrong, or indifferent, President Biden has tapped into that.
More often than not, it seems that the GOP or portions thereof are incredibly tone-deaf or do not know how to frame an issue.
I would rather the GOP -- if they are interested in even touching that very, very touchy issue -- to come out with a message that the GOP wants to "expand" social security.
And then in the small print, and/or in the back rooms, "expand" social security for those that truly need it and cut it or completely eliminate for those that do not need it. Instead, the GOP "headlines" the issue with worries that Social Security will soon become insolvent and the US Congress needs to act.
And, of course, the Democrats will take that "headline" and run with it.
