Inside Mike Johnson and House Republicans’ Secret Plan to Decimate Social Security and Medicare

Today, Mike Johnson admitted MAGA extremists in Congress would take a blowtorch to Social Security and Medicare if given another term in power. 

On a local Louisiana radio show, Johnson said:

“The reason we’re in trouble is because over 74% of federal spending is on autopilot, mandatory spending. That’s your entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and things like Social Security.”

 “They have to be adjusted and fixed. We have a plan to do that next year,” Johnson added.

Why won’t Mike Johnson release his plan to end Social Security as we know it NOW – ahead of the midterms? 

REMINDER: Republicans in Congress already voted for the largest cut to Medicaid in American history in order to fund massive tax breaks for GOP billionaires donors. 

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol: 
“MAGA Mike Johnson won’t show the American people his secret plan to eliminate Social Security because he knows Republican policies are wildly unpopular and will be resoundingly rejected by the American people in November.”
