Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey and 2024 GOP presidential hopeful, slammed the current political indecision to resolve the social security crisis—warning the welfare program will be bankrupt in 11 years.
If we don’t deal with entitlements like social security and Medicare, the country’s national debt of $32 trillion is going to get “bigger, and bigger, and bigger,” Mr. Christie said during a conference in Atlanta on Saturday. “The most disgusting part of Joe Biden’s State of the Union address this year was when he stood up, and he said, ‘We’ll all agree, right? We’re not going to do anything to Social Security?’ And both sides got up and cheered. A group of liars and cowards because they know that in 10 years, Medicare will be bankrupt. And in 11 years, Social Security will be bankrupt.”
