MARK LEVIN (HOST): Janet Yellen testifying today, another incompetent over there at the Treasury Department. She might even the first woman treasurer. I don't really know. I don't really care, but I suspect, maybe, that's what was going on on that selection. May I say the word woman? I mean, it's not like I'm going to the Supreme Court or anything. And she's questioned by Bill Cassidy, Louisiana. Typically he's a wet noodle, but does pretty well here. And you see the trustees of Social Security say, if we don't fix this thing -- if we don't fix this thing, the beneficiaries of Social Security are going to see their checks cut by on average 24 percent. And the Social Security tax increased by at least a hundred percent.
And so Joe Biden has a plan - none. Nothing. Do Republicans have a plan? Actually, Republicans have had a plan for 20 years, and that plan is basically those people who are on Social Security are grandfathered in. People who are 55 to 65 are grandfathered in when they turn 65. But everybody else, unfortunately, they're gonna have to see the age increase - that is, to 70. Used to be they said 67, but now that has to be around 70. And that's how you fix it without screwing the people who've been paying into it and are about to get Social Security or who are on Social Security.
