Sen. Ron Johnson says Biden is lying about him, references 1975 proposal to cut Social Security and Medicare
Fox News
Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is calling President Biden a liar after the White House claimed again that Johnson has sought to end Social Security and Medicare.
Refusing to back down at the Wisconsin rally, the president pulled out a brochure with the 12-point plan to "Rescue America" put forward by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., which Biden and Democrats have asserted lays out a proposal that would cause Social Security and Medicare programs to end without Congressional action.

The president then read a placard with a 2022 quote from Johnson, in which the Republican lawmaker called for Social Security and Medicare entitlements to be transitioned from mandatory to discretionary spending, which would require Congress to budget for those programs annually.
