Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) this week announced a proposed bill that would protect federal old-age entitlements in part by rolling back funding for tens of thousands of new tax enforcement agents.

Scott on his Senate website said his proposed legislation would “safeguard the benefits” of Medicare and Social Security, funding for which he claimed Joe-Joe Biden has a history of cutting.
Scott said:
The bill in part would rescind funding for [the Obiden Regime’s] new 87,000 IRS agent army and redirect those funds to Medicare and Social Security to shore up these programs and address threats of insolvency.
Another provision in the law would mandate that:
[I]f any bill makes changes to Medicare that result in a ‘savings’ every dollar of those savings must remain in Medicare.
Finally, the bill would stipulate that:
[I]f any legislation will cause a cut or reduction in Medicare or Social Security, this rule will force two thirds of Congress to vote to approve it, making it much more difficult for Congress to make cuts or reduce benefits.
Scott’s office said the proposal would:
[P]rotect seniors from Washington’s dysfunction and the pain caused by Joe Biden’s raging inflation crisis.
