During a Senate Committee on Finance hearing, SecYellen said that Biden 'stands ready to work with Congress.' SenBillCassidy shot back with 'that's a lie.'
Cassidy made the claim while grilling Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about Biden's lack of plans to shore up Social Security in his sweeping $6.9 trillion budget proposal that featured a suite of tax hikes. Yellen maintained that Biden"stands ready to work with Congress" on the issue during a Senate Committee on Finance hearing.
His budget proposal last week bolstered spending for Medicare, but Cassidy countered that Biden's budget lacked a plan for Social Security, which is projected to run into insolvency. The measure appears dead on arrival in Congress. "The president is completely committed to protecting seniors who rely on Social Security," the treasury secretary said.
