Rick Scott Issues Social Security Warning: 'Have To Get Something Done'

The article from Newsweek discusses Senator Rick Scott's proposal to sunset all federal legislation, including Social Security and Medicare, every five years, which has sparked significant controversy.

The debate intensified after Biden highlighted the issue in his State of the Union address, leading to a public dispute where Scott defended his plan, arguing it was about reviewing and potentially reauthorizing these programs, not automatically cutting them. This has led to a broader discussion on the future of Social Security and Medicare, with fears among Democrats that such proposals could lead to reductions in benefits for millions of Americans.
