The Republican senator from Utah accused the GOP of trying to have it both ways on meddling with Social Security
The article from MSN discusses comments made by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) regarding the GOP's stance on Social Security. Senator Lee, speaking at a closed-door GOP retreat, suggested that the party should be more transparent about their intentions to reform or potentially cut Social Security, rather than misleading voters. He criticized the GOP for not being honest about their plans, which he believes could involve significant changes to the program. This comes at a time when Social Security's financial stability is a hot topic, with projections indicating that the trust fund could be depleted by 2035, necessitating either benefit cuts or tax increases. Lee's remarks highlight an internal debate within the Republican Party about how to address these looming fiscal challenges while maintaining voter support.
