Sen. Rick Scott slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for his stance on Social Security and Medicare on Tuesday. Scott called him"disingenuous" after McConnell claimed conservatives on Capitol Hill would not touch either program.
"Congress ought to tell you how they’re going to preserve Medicare and Social Security that are going bankrupt. If I said we ought to review programs, somehow that’s a cut," Scott said."But what do we do about defense? There's no 40-year plan on defense." "We don't have a 100-year budget on defense. Every year, we go through the defense budget. If you don’t support a 100-year defense plan, you must be cutting defense every year. It’s disingenuous," Scott said."I don’t believe we should reduce the benefits, but guess what? [We have] $31.5 trillion of debt.
McConnell doubled down on his stance that both programs were off the table when it comes to raising the debt ceiling by this summer.
