Where is a clip or a transcript of him saying that adjustments are a euphemism for cuts??? That is all I'm asking for. I'm fully aware he could have said that, but could not find it. Can you?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

He also said revenues. Go Vols Jan 2020 #135

20 years later ...OK...doesn't change the fact he used the same words Biden used...so either Sanders Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #139

Weird becuase when they were tryign to do the "Grand Bargain there was Sanders protesting it booley Jan 2020 #127

Biden never cut social security nor did Sanders...but both gave lip service to solvency...and Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #130

That is how it is done...and Obama was a master. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #133

Yes he was. Totally outmaneuvered the GOP. Scurrilous Jan 2020 #136

And this time Sanders will be vetted as he should before the General. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #138

No one has pinned him down yet on the question of how he'll do it. Scurrilous Jan 2020 #140

Sander is good on a certain spiel...I don't see much ability to write legislation or plan to Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #148

Both Sanders and Biden want to secure and protect Social Security. All of our candidates do. LanternWaste Jan 2020 #131

I know that and so does Sanders which is why the attacks against Biden are really wrong and are Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #134

"Adjustments" could also mean raising the cap The Mouth Jan 2020 #141

He specifically mentioned benefits...I doubt either Sanders or Biden were serious...it is a game Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #152

OK, respectfully, point me to a different quote then The Mouth Jan 2020 #155

did you see gothmogs OP...the newspaper where Sanders say...'adjustments in benefits' Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #156

That article in the bottom right is showing his pleasure that we did NOT get cuts. Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #154

You can not claim that adjustments mean one this is sanders says this word Gothmog Jan 2020 #157

Sanders never said adjustments are cuts Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #158

Do you have a video or transcript? Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #160

Denial is still not just a river in Africa Gothmog Jan 2020 #161

Provide a quote to me from the "black and white" Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #182
