House GOP Advances Controversial Social Security Commission

The commission, dubbed a 'death panel' by critics, aims to cut Social Security and Medicare, sparking widespread opposition.

House Republicans push forward a budget resolution that includes a fiscal commission to overhaul Social Security and Medicare.
Critics, including Congressional Democrats and advocacy groups, label the commission a 'death panel' for its potential to slash benefits.
The commission's advancement comes amid President Biden's State of the Union address, where he is expected to oppose such cuts.
Supporters argue the commission is necessary for fiscal responsibility, while opponents see it as an attack on vital programs.
The debate intensifies as the 2024 elections approach, with implications for both parties' standing with voters.
