The US President: The dream of many Republicans is to abolish Social Security and Medicare… If that is your dream, then I will be your nightmare
US President Joe Biden vowed during a tour of Florida Thursday that it would be a “nightmare” for the Republicans if they touched social privileges.
Biden said that “the dream of many Republicans is to abolish Social Security and Medicare,” which are, respectively, an old-age assistance program and health insurance for the elderly.
And the 80-year-old Democratic president added: “If that was your dream, then I will be your nightmare,” promising to block any legislative attempt in this direction.
And it seems that Biden has already started campaigning for the 2024 presidential elections, even if he has not officially announced his candidacy, and he seeks to continue the debate that he started on Tuesday in Congress during his State of the Union speech.
In his speech, Biden criticized conservatives for wanting to “sacrifice” these two social programs to maintain budgetary discipline. This prompted a strong denial from the Republicans, and the opposition called the president a “liar”.
