<p>Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) said Sunday that former President Donald Trump&#8217;s attacks on Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis are making it harder to have a debate about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/social-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Social Security</a>.</p>
<p>Appearing on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/full-cassidy-concerns-over-texas-ruling-upending-fda-s-authority-are-alarmist-170432069771" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meet the Press,</a>&#8221; Cassidy blamed both Trump and President Joe Biden for &#8220;demagoguing&#8221; the issue, which has made it difficult for Republicans to talk about reforming the entitlement.</p>
<p class="">&#8220;Joe Biden and former President Trump have the same plan, which is to do nothing on Social Security, and to allow a 24% cut to benefits when the fund goes insolvent in about eight or nine years,&#8221; said Cassidy. &#8220;It does make it harder. When your leading presidential candidates have made the decision to deceive the American people and to say there isn&#8217;t a problem, when every actuary who looks at this says that there is a problem &#8230; it makes it very hard when they are so irresponsible. It is true for President Biden. It is true for former President Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p class="">Cassidy touted his proposal to establish a mutual fund apart from Social Security that would help it maintain sustainability. He then blasted political leaders on both sides of the aisle again.</p>
<p class="">&#8220;If one side proposes something, the other side will demagogue it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We see Trump and we see Biden demagoguing it now. We need honesty with the American people. But we have a big idea that&#8217;ll solve 75% of the problem, and that&#8217;s a pretty good idea.&#8221;</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-super-pac-makes-3-million-ad-buy-attacking-ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">super PAC</a> backing Trump has spent millions of dollars on ads attacking DeSantis, according to FEC records. A filing on Friday revealed that Make America Great Again spent $1.5 million for “placed media: TV” opposing DeSantis. The PAC has also released two ads slamming DeSantis for votes to cut Social Security and Medicare while he was in Congress. It cites votes for non-binding resolutions in 2013, 2014, and 2015 while serving in the House that recommended raising the retirement age to 70 and reducing benefits for some.</p>
<p>&#8220;The more you learn about DeSantis, the more you see he just doesn’t share our values,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV3tgOiInMY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one ad</a> says.</p>
<p>&#8220;DeSantis has his dirty fingers all over senior entitlements, like cutting Medicare, slashing Social Security, even raising our retirement age,&#8221; says <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqO3-erBEG4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another</a>.</p>

<p>The ads will run on CNN and Fox News.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-arent-really-trying-to-kill-social-security-and-medicare-and-biden-knows-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden</a> has spent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desperate-biden-falsely-claims-republicans-will-kill-medicare-social-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">months</a> claiming that Congressional Republicans would kill Social Security, attacking Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in particular over a proposal to sunset all legislation after five years.</p>
