Manchin calls for compromise on Social Security, Medicare as other Democrats go on attack

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says Democrats and Republicans need to work together to reign in Social Security and Medicare spending.

"You’re going to get your financial house in order. We cannot live with this crippling debt," said Manchin, whose previous objections to spending substantially watered down Biden's Build Back Better agenda.  Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.

"If we don’t look at the trust funds that are going bankrupt, whether they be Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, highway, all the ones — there are tremendous problems right now," the West Virginia lawmaker said in response to a question about where Democrats and Republicans need to compromise.
