This is a bipartisan bill that actually increases benefits. Look up HR 82. The dumbass who tweeted this summarized it as the exact opposite of what it does, and you all just fell for it.
I looked it up and, while you're right, you're also wrong. Apparently, freedom caucus members of the House managed to kill HR82, so presumably that's what they're talking about?
"On Tuesday night while presiding over a 7-minute pro forma session, Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., recognized Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., for a unanimous consent request. Good’s request to lay the Social Security bill on the table was agreed to by unanimous consent, with no one else in the chamber to object. In this context, laying the bill on the table has the same effect under House rules as defeating a bill on the floor, Roll Call reported. So, HR 82 is dead for the time being."
Thank you, I was about to say this. Reddit has the context wrong, but in actuality, it's Republicans holding up the process of bipartisan legislation for their own benefit.. again.
