House Republicans Are Advancing a Poison Pill Commission Designed to Slash Social Security
(Washington, DC) — Today, the Republican leadership of the House Budget Committee announced that they will hold a markup on the so-called “Fiscal Commission Act of 2023” this Thursday at 10am.
The following is a statement from Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works:
“This commission is a poison pill designed to slash Social Security and Medicare behind closed doors. The White House has accurately stated that such a commission is a ‘death panel for Medicare and Social Security.’ House Republicans are rushing to advance the commission so that they can jam it through as a condition of keeping the government funded.
Democratic leadership should respond that our earned benefits are non-negotiable, and that they will not accept a commission under any circumstances. Instead, any legislation on Social Security should go through regular order so that Congress can debate it in the sunlight.”

In 1983, Joe Biden joined a bipartisan effort to make 50% of Social Security benefits taxable, for those above a certain income. This new revenue would go towards the Social Security Trust Fund.
In 1993, Biden joined a partisan effort to narrowly pass an "Omnibus Bill," mostly focused on lowering the deficit. Included in this large package was a bill that changed the level of taxable Social Security benefits from 50% to 85%. This new revenue would be directed to a trust fund for Medicare.
"The taxation of Social Security began in 1984 following passage of a set of Amendments in 1983, which were signed into law by President Reagan in April 1983."
