  1. There video of Joe Biden bragging about how he tried to cut Social Security on four different occasions. I don’t believe him.

    1. @conference Justice all you do is make political comments on videos gtfo!!! You keep making new accounts be gone wanna be😉

    1. Come down there, trumper. You Bernie Babies are no different than trumpturds. You both have the same playbook: Lies and conspiracies.

  2. History has said otherwise multiple times and on top of that he LIED about his cut records with SS. This guy has made some many bad choices in his political career, IDK how people still trust him to run the country.

  3. Too bad there is video of quid pro Joe bragging about how he would cut social security benefits. Quid pro Joe is a fraud!

  4. “When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well,” he told the Senate in 1995. “I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the government. And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time.” Joe Biden~

    1. @Jon Dhoe No, that’s when you understand the insane way government works. When the real world cuts their budget, it is LESS.

  5. “When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the government. And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time.”

    “When I introduced my budget freeze proposal years ago, the liberals of my party said, ‘It’s an awful thing you are doing, Joe. All the programs we care about, you are freezing them — money for the blind, the disabled, education and so on. My argument then is one I make now, which is the strongest, most compelling reason to be for this amendment — or an amendment — that if we do not do that, all the things I care most about are going to be gone — gone.”

    “I was one of five people — I was the junior guy in the meeting with Bob Dole and George Mitchell when we put Social Security on the right path for 60 years. I’ll never forget what Bob Dole said. After we reached an agreement about gradually raising the retirement age, etc., he said, ‘Look, here’s the deal, we all put our foot in the boat one at a time.’ And he kicked — he stepped like he was stepping into a boat. ‘And we all make the following deal. If any one of the challengers running against the incumbent Democrat or Republicans attack us on this point, we’ll all stay together.’ That’s the kind of leadership that is needed. Social Security’s not the hard one to solve. Medicare, that is the gorilla in the room, and you’ve got to put all of it on the table.”

    “The American people know we have to fix Social Security. They know we can’t grow our way to a solution. They know we’re going to have to make some tough decisions. They’re ready to make those decisions. They’re ready to step up. We have to be ready to straightforwardly tell them what we’re about to do.”

    Numerous instances of Biden “out of context”.

    1. Yes, he is indeed lying. Biden’s horrible history of punishing the poor and minorities is a matter of public record… he’s just gambling that no one will bother to look it up.

  6. Hypocrisy and pandering and intentional deceit. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he is a Republican in ideals that’s why he works so well with them

  7. “When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the government. And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time.”
