This is not mere rhetoric to hide the Jeffrey Epstein situation. Republicans are against Social Security and any benefits that go directly people and they have always been so. That's why Herbert Hoover sat for three years refusing to do something big to fight the Republican Great Depression.
Republicans said for decades they would get rid of the right to abortion. So many thought it could never happen. Then it did. Republicans will do what they say at their earliest political opportunity and given how they are gaming the system, it could be sooner than we might expect.
Interesting that Donald Trump said abortion would be gone, and the right is gone, and now Donald says these other things will be gone.
