There's a reason I don't profess loyalty to any of these politicians like so many on both the left and right do. They all talk out of both sides of their mouths.
Hypocrisy from both sides. They're all corrupt. They all say what suits them at the time and still some worship them like gods.
Joe Biden attacks Republicans for positions he once held about Social Security | CNN Politics
Biden first introduced a proposal in 1975 that would have ceased funding all federal programs – including Social Security and Medicare – unless they were reauthorized by Congress. In fact, Biden’s bill was the first so-called federal sunset bill, something the president later boasted about in his 1978 Senate reelection campaign.
Biden once boasted that he was the first person to introduce a bill to require all federal programs be reauthorized or cease to be funded – including Medicare and Social Security.
Now, Biden is attacking some Republicans over proposals to do the same, citing a plan from Scott which – until recent changes – would have also sunset all federal legislation.
“I introduced the Senate’s first ever free-standing sunset bill in 1975,” Biden wrote in an article in 1984 for the Syracuse Law Review, referencing a
1975 bill he introduced that did not include exemptions for Social Security and Medicare. That bill passed the Senate by a vote of 87-1, but later failed in the House.
