GOP Senators Accuse Yellen and Biden Administration of Lying About Social Security Plan.
TL;DR
During a Senate Finance Committee hearing on Biden's budget, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) accused Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen of lying when she said that President Biden is ready to work with Congress on reforming Social Security. Cassidy argued that a bipartisan group of senators has repeatedly requested to meet with Biden about Social Security, but they have not heard anything on their request. Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) admonished Cassidy for breaching Senate decorum, but Cassidy later insisted that he did not call Yellen a liar.
