Jack, House Republicans cut a deal with President Biden on the debt limit—and what are they most upset about? They were not able to cut Social Security.
On Fox News shortly after the deal was cut, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy complained that Biden had "walled off" potential cuts to Social Security or Medicare during their negotiations.

This is precisely where Republicans are planning to take things next. McCarthy has already announced that he will set up a commission to look at potential cuts to Social Security.
No commission to look at making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes. No commission to question our bloated military budget. As soon as the debt limit deal expires in January 2025, House Republicans will be ready to demand drastic cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Social Security is a crucial lifeline for millions of Americans who rely on it for their financial well-being in retirement. Any changes to the program must prioritize preserving and strengthening the program for current and future generations.
