If the GOP was in charge, the COLA law would be repealed. Indeed, the entire Social Security program would be on the chopping block.
158 out of 212 House Republicans, including top GOP leadership Members Whip Scalise and Chair Stefanik, have called for slashing and privatizing Social Security, raising the retirement age to 70 and ending Medicare as we know it as part of the Republican Study Committee FY2023 budget.

So explain to me how that White House tweet was false.
