The top Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee and its Social Security Subcommittee have scheduled a roundtable at noon on Wednesday, Eastern Time, on “Democrats’ Social Security Expansion Fails Generations of Working and Retired Americans.” Charles Blahouse and Holly Wade, both of whom are reliably hostile to Social Security, will testify.
I don’t know why they would bother with this with Congress in recess or even if it were back in session. Do they really think the Democrats might advance a bill? Maybe it’s a sign that they really don’t want to have to vote on a bill that increases Social Security benefits while raising taxes only on the wealthiest Americans.
I’m sure this roundtable will get “tens and tens of views” to quote a recent commercial.

Kind of funny that folks who do so much to damage SSA want to have a roundtable discussion about the problems at SSA.
They’re using the buzz words and statements that are imbedded in millions of American’s minds. There’s no thought involved, no effort required to maintain their superiority over those commie/socialist Democrats. Recipe: add tax hikes, Trust Fund,
a dash of workers in a brief narrative and the base is appeased. It doesn’t even feel like cynicism any more to say that.
