MITCH MCCONNELL
PLANNING MASSIVE MEDICARE SABOTAGE
Mitch McConnell and his fellow Republicans have a problem . They hate Social Security , because it is popular , effective , and doesn ’ t make any money for their billionaire donors . But their voters love Social Security . Ninety-four percent of Republicans oppose benefit cuts .
McConnell understands the political dangers of being openly hostile to Social Security . So instead , he is plotting to sabotage it from within . The latest instrument of that sabotage is Andrew Biggs , a senior fellow at the billionaire-funded American Enterprise Institute . Biggs is McConnell ’ s pick to serve on the Social Security Advisory Board ( SSAB ), which “ provides advice and recommendations to the President , Congress , and the Commissioner of Social Security on matters related to the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income programs and policies .”
