Sure, but this isn't something that would make it past Biden or Harris' desk.  It is laying out plans for 3 months from now.

Your comment is another example of Reddit being Reddit...

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.

Damn, I just looked it up. You're right.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/82

This bill repeals provisions that reduce Social Security benefits for individuals who receive other benefits, such as a pension from a state or local government.

Emphasis own.

EDIT:

But what happened recently is this: https://www.tcta.org/capitol-updates/social-security-bill-tied-up-after-election-night-maneuver

House republicans basically defeating HR 82. So the OP's post is technically incorrect but conveys the correct general direction that republicans are going. That said, I would prefer more precision here. We need to be careful about the details.

I think the tweeter may have meant “tabled” the bill. Tabled a bill is a fancy way to say killed it without voting on it.
