A five year sunset on all legislation (even if a few programs are exempted and who believes them) is a foolish and irresponsible idea. It means uncertainty about whether any legislation or policy would continue—this will produce economic chaos. It also requires Congress to reconsider the entire federal government every five years. That's a project which Congress is unlikely to be able to complete in time—and that will lead to political chaos. Of course Republicans want that.

This is a proposal for undermining our democracy. That kind of nihilism seems to be the only goal of the Republican Party today. If the GOP gets its way, it’s a permanent serfdom.

They desperately want to gut the safety net, worker wages, and consumer protections so they can feed the rich more gold. Radical, to say the least.

Do Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare?

Sen. Rick Scott wants every government program — even entitlements — to expire after 5 years unless Congress approves them again.

@TonyStark In short, Rick Scott still wants to cut Social Security and Medicare and will cut who administers it if he can’t cut it directly and nobody believes him anyway. Republicans just want to burn us all down. Get out of our business, all of them.

Way too late for Rick Scott, though.

@ScottLang @TonyStark @HopeVanDyne Being or having been involved in fraudulent activities must be the key to "GOP" congressional membership today.
And you'll most certainly be a "Republican" star, when you're part of a company, that was fined $1.7 billion for massive fraud.
That much for the self-proclaimed party of law(lessness) & (dis)order.

Rick Scott’s Connection to Massive Medicare Fraud Scandal Resurfaces

Scott, a Republican senator from Florida, challenged President Joe Biden to a debate about Medicare and Social Security on Thursday.

Newsweek
@ArenaCops @ScottLang @TonyStark Rick Scott should be at least 1.7 billion miles away from having an impact on government.
@HopeVanDyne @ScottLang @TonyStark 😎👍👍👍 You're taking the right words out of my fingertips!
