Republicans actually supported this.

Social Security Fairness Act

This bill eliminates penalties for receiving social security benefits while receiving other government pensions, the so-called the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP),thus essentially allowing double-dipping by bureaucrats.

It is currently to cost the American taxpayers $196 billion over 10 years.

It was a bipartisan bill, sponsored by Republican Garret Graves (R-LA-06)in the House and everyone's favorite RINO in the Senate - Susan Collins. The House passed the bill by a whopping 327 to 75, meaning the lion's share of Republicans - those supposedly right wing MAGA types - voted enthusiastically for this budget busting bill which the NEA wholeheartedly supports.

Social Security is expected to go bust by 2035,according to a report by the Social Security Trustees. And yet the House Republicans have gone right along with this.

Now we must hope the Senate fails to pass this. If not Biden will sign it. If it is held up until Trump is in office he may veto it. I would think he would.

These jackasses haven't learned a thing from the election.
