how many times did House Repubs pass bills cutting SS/Medicare/Medicaid and send them to the GOP-controlled Senate? Why not? Wouldn't that have been the perfect time for "Entitlement Reform"?

and when Bush went on the road pushing privatization of SS, I don't recall any congressional repubs jumping on board.

No, because the Republicans were in charge. They're not about to preside over government, and cut those programs. They know a lot of Seniors rely on them, and they're not about to commit political suicide. But let a Democrat president be in power, and they'll do all they can to make cuts. "Oh no, that was the Democrats."

Bush Jr wasted his 50.6% "Mandate" in 2004 to privatize & ran into the GOP wall

LOL & best regards
