GOP coronavirus relief package to include Romney bill that would ‘fast-track Social Security and Medicare cuts’

Shortly after publicly ditching one attack on Social Security—the payroll tax cut—Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed Thursday that the Republican coronavirus relief package will include legislation sponsored by Sen. Mitt Romney that one advocacy group described as an “equally menacing” threat to the New Deal program.
In a speech on the Senate floor, McConnell touted Romney’s TRUST ACT as “a bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Senate Democrats, to help a future Congress evaluate bipartisan proposals for protecting and strengthening the programs that Americans count on.”
“In the midst of a catastrophic pandemic, they should be focused on protecting seniors, essential workers, and the unemployed. Instead, they are plotting to use the cover of the pandemic to slash Social Security.”
—Nancy Altman, Social Security Works
Ostensibly an effort to “rescue” America’s trust fund programs, Romney’s bill—first introduced last October with the backing of three Democratic senators—would initiate a secretive process that could result in cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits, a longtime objective of lawmakers like the Utah Republican.
Romney celebrated the inclusion of his bill Thursday and pointed to statements praising the legislation from a slew of right-wing advocacy groups, including the Koch-funded organization Americans for Prosperity.

in this case, is still my enemy. But he can be useful. 
Something about a thousand words...
Filthy rich people should not be in government at all IMHO.
Look at what these self serving greedy assholes do, not what they say.
as an honorable Trumplican, and anyone still claiming to be part of that party, is a Trumplican!
I'll give him credit on his 1 count vote to impeach, but doing what was blatantly the right thing to do, does not make you worthy of adulation, it makes you not a piece of shit in that particular instance.

If any of this is true:

Alternet is well alternet. I am not sure what the National Memo is but mediabiascheck says they are left leaning and their reporting is mostly factual. Of course mediabiasfactcheck is apparently an amateur website. Maybe Matt Taibi is considered too far to the left. But with those caveats, going by those articles, he is not even honorable.
I don't have the time to check all that but you guys can correct me if I am wrong. I think his so-called honor is probably bs. He is less overtly vulgar than Trump. This guy is as sleazy as most of them are. It isn't about purity. I have little use for purity. I think Romney is actually a particularly evil and dangerous man. I could be wrong. Like I said, I am not an expert on Romney. But my gut feeling (and yes I sound like Bush 
) is that he is neither moderate nor honorable. I stand corrected if those articles are wrong or misrepresenting things.
While it is admittedly a leading search, "Bain Capital scandals" brings up lots of links.
