Republican Senator upset Biden won't talk to him about cutting Social Security

Republican senator to Yellen in hearing: 'That's a lie'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Republican senator accused Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Thursday of lying about whether President Joe Biden was willing to meet with Republicans to discuss Social Security, a break in decorum that drew an admonishment from the panel's chairman.

Senator Bill Cassidy repeatedly told Yellen during a Senate Finance Committee hearing that Biden has not been willing to meet with a bipartisan group of senators to address problems with Social Security.

"Why doesn't the President care?" Cassidy asked.

"He cares very deeply - " Yellen began to answer.

“Why, oh WHY doesn’t he care???”, sobs the puke whose party fought Social Security and Medicare tooth and nail, doing their level-best to tear it down and give it to the rich. Butthurt Bill here sounds as dishonest and scumbaggy as all the other pukes.
