Question about Neera Tanden's position on SS-- is this true?

[ailsagirl]

Joe Biden’s likely nominee to head the powerful Office of Management and Budget, Neera Tanden, called for cuts to Social Security, saying, “we need to put both entitlements on the table as well as taxes.”

1. Back in 2012? Have you heard anything since?

2. I wouldn't believe anything coming from jacobin. They did everything in 2016 to hurt Hillary, and

effectively help trump

"If the Biden administration is serious about protecting Medicare and Social Security, they must not appoint one of the biggest champions of cuts to lead their budget agency."

6. Hey, it's another anti-Biden source!

[still_one]

9. Your OP is about Tandon, and you post things about his chief of staff. Biden isn't

going to have cuts to SS, and I will trust Biden over those against his chief of Staff

This purity test nonsense helped give us trump in 2016

[Cha]

19. That's right.. excellent point.. Pres Biden's

the Boss & he's Not going to Cut SS.

[still_one]

28. That is the bottom line Cha. This is a typical Biden hit job by the usual circles

[mvd]

12. I like Common Dreams

They are a progressive site but not one that obsessively attacks Democrats.

That said, I don’t know if she thinks the same thing now.

[Cha]

15. Exactly.. I saw that "jacobin" & thought

"BULLSHIT!"

[cachukis]

4. Could it be that she was floating a balloon?

[ailsagirl]

7. I just don't know

A friend had heard it on the radio and called to tell me. First I had heard about it!

[cachukis]

14. Read the Times article.

Seems like she is working the politics well. She's a truth talker and some don't like talk back. Can she outlast the handful of straws? Hope there are some backbones.

5. From LA Times

8. Well, you've found three sources - so why did you need to ask

Or just looking to get a shot in on the Biden administration from the Left?

[still_one]

10. +++

[CentralMass]

16. Is , "we need to put both entitlements on the table as well as taxes." ok with Biden ?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

17. Attacking the president now.

Go for it.

[CentralMass]

20. I don't know what your game is but I simply asked a question.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

21. Just asking questions

Just like the OP

[CentralMass]

26. Are you suggesting that information like this should not be discussed ?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

30. I'm not suggesting anything

Except maybe that using a 10-year-old quote that was culled from a story written by a Never-Biden grifter may not be the best thing to do.
But hey, I'm just here trying to support our president and not undermine his agenda by smearing one of his nominees.

[Cha]

22. NO.. Pres Biden's the Boss & this is NOT

his policy.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

24. Hey, they're just asking questions

That way they can bash with plausible deniability.

[Cha]

27. That's why I set 'em straight!

[Jose Garcia]

11. So what? Biden himself has supported reigning in intitlement spending

[Turin_C3PO]

13. Maybe but

he’s also said he’s for increasing the benefit amount for SS recipients.

[Cha]

23. Pres Biden says he's for "..increasing

Social Security..".

[AZSkiffyGeek]

18. Oh jeez, I didn't see this was Walker Bragman

Cosplay socialist whose mom complained about airplanes flying over their mansion.

[Cha]

25. omg "Walker Bragman"! lol

Gaslighting Fool on Twitter.. I've seen his shit before.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

31. I think he was the idiot who posted a picture of the Michigan militia guy's house

And said he couldn't possibly be rich because there was a big construction size trash dumpster in his yard. And conveniently ignored the two 50K pick-up trucks there as well...

[Cha]

34. Exactly my point.. Gaslighting

shit show.. & probably followers who eat that up.

Why would a Dem be defending any Michigan militia, anyway?

[CentralMass]

29. ..

32. Here is President Biden's Social Security Plan:

There's no way President Biden would allow someone he's nominated to head OMB, to undermine his plan. I don't know much about Jacobin mag, but what I have read, they tend to bash President Biden every chance they get.
