President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats plan to use Republican proposals to slash Social Security and Medicare as a key wedge issue in the 2024 election campaign, showcasing the partisan divide in Washington over crucial programs that are facing long-term financial collapse.
The president is already warning that the benefits millions of Americans rely on from the twin programs are at risk as House Republicans refuse to back a straightforward increase in the federal debt limit. Biden will keep talking about protecting the programs even after the debt-ceiling issue is sorted, a White House official said on condition of anonymity.

Slash defined: to cut with a violent sweeping stroke or by striking violently and at random, as with a knife or sword.
Get the imagery?
Nobody is going to "slash your benefits. The programs are not facing financial collapse and the only long-term risk is if Congress does nothing.
