House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said on Friday that “extreme MAGA” Republicans view Social Security as a “Ponzi scheme,” calling on Democrats to work to protect the program.
“The Extreme MAGA Republican crowd claims Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. More evidence they want to destroy it. Dems must stop them,” Jeffries tweeted, using an acronym for former President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.
The White House and Democrats have been arguing this week with the GOP over whether Social Security and Medicare are at risk as part of some Republican Congress members’ proposals.
During his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Biden accused some Republicans of wanting to “sunset” Social Security and Medicare in exchange for agreeing to vote to raise the debt ceiling. Sunsetting would mean that Congress would need to reauthorize these programs for them to continue.

Reparations for Blacks and the DEI plan are ‘Ponzi Schemes’.
“More evidence they want to destroy it”
But the “deft” joe biden just got the Republicans to say they didn’t want to get rid of SSA the other night at the SOTU.......chuckie the schmuckie said so!
Try and keep up hackeem
No enumerated power for either SS or Medicare.
I wish the federak would honor the 10th Amendment and not FDR era lawlessness.
The biggest thing wrong with Social Security is that politicians turned it into another tax and spend scheme.
Let’s see. An “investment” plan with no actual assets where the current benefits are paid by the new “investors” and which becomes insolvent if there isn’t a constantly increasing pool of investors (remember, we “need” immigration to save SS). Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me.
Democrats LIE.
It’s what they do.
LIE.
😂😂😂. Democommies have been treating it like that for years. What a friggin’ maroon. 🖕
Nope.
Hakeem is correct.
UGH, must be their favorite Luntz focus group term, 2nd to "political stunt".
It is a ponzi scheme
There’s one really big difference - American workers are forced to keep SS going at what will be a reduced payout level.
Just looting and extortion
Uhh, Trump said not to touch Social Security.
The EMTALA should be eliminated come January 1st when new PPACA policies would come into effect.
Republicans should go on the offensive and talk about how the Democrats want to change or limit Social Security! Fighting fire with fire!
