Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has suggested that Social Security and Medicare be eliminated as federal entitlement programs, and that they should instead become programs approved by Congress on an annual basis as discretionary spending.

Those who work in the United States pay Social Security and Medicare taxes that go into federal trust funds. Upon retirement, based on a person’s lifetime earnings and other factors, a retiree is eligible to receive monthly Social Security payments. Similarly, Medicare is the federal health insurance program that kicks in for people 65 and older, or for others who have disabilities.

In an interview that aired Tuesday on “The Regular Joe Show” podcast, Johnson, who is seeking a third term in the Senate, lamented that the Social Security and Medicare programs automatically grant benefits to those who meet the qualifications — that is, to those who had been paying into the system over their working life.

And he's not even like Rick Scott - safe for another couple of years. He's running for reelection!

I'd guess Mandela Barnes's chances just got a little better.

Recent polls have shown Barnes ahead of Johnson (but within the margin of error). https://www.newsweek.com/mandela-barnes-chances-beating-ron-johnson-wisconsin-polls-1729304 On Wisconsin!

Ron Johnson is so terrible. The fact that they’re within the margin of error is sad. I hope Mandela Barnes is able to succeed-I worry about a black candidate in a very white state.

The Democrats in that state work their butts off, but the GOP in that state cheats their cheeks off. Let’s just say that the results of the recall election a few years ago were questionable, at best.

Barnes is from Milwaukee, the largest city in the state and where the vast majority of the state's black population lives, but Milwaukee, especially the black population, has issues with voter turnout. If Milwaukee turns out, Barnes is very likely to win and I am hoping his identity and connections with Milwaukee, especially the black population, will help drive up turnout there.

Obama won Wisconsin 2x for what it is worth.

True! Hopefully Mandela Barnes has a good ground game with voter registration and GOTV.

The Wisconsin Democratic Party is ON IT. Excellent fundraising and ground operations.

I hadn't realized that Peter Thiel candidate won in Arizona? Peter Thiel is backing a lot of horses in these Senate races...

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/03/opinion/blake-masters-arizona-senate.html
In 2016, Mr. Thiel and Mr. Masters were charged with recommending appointees to populate the administrative state — a dream job for reformed libertarians convinced that their brilliant colleagues should be running the government. But their list of 150 names, Max Chafkin reported in his biography of Mr. Thiel, included people who were “too extreme even for the most extreme members of Trump’s inner circle.” The person they proposed for the F.D.A., for instance, was a tech mogul and bitcoin investor who had suggested replacing the agency with a “Yelp for drugs.”

“It was too much,” Steve Bannon told Mr. Chafkin. “People thought Trump was a disrupter. They had no earthly idea.”

Thiel is promoting 2020 election deniers? Ugh... That guy is poison to US politics.

Isn’t it crazy how 1 person with a net worth of 5B can have so much influence only due to money. Imagine if one of the 100B+ group went all in financially on politics….this is going to happen someday.

With the result that millions act like they’re brainwashed and they’re mean, angry and uninformed.
