UpNorthJoe: Marge Green ruing that America has "socialist" Medicare and Social Security.

That was one weird speech by MTG at the Turning Point Action Conference. She's usually pretty good at getting the crowd to chant and jeer but they were mostly silent. And she wasn't just denouncing Medicare and Social Security, she was making what she must have thought was a clever comparison between LBJ and Biden: both senators, both Veeps, and Johnson's "big socialist programs were the Great Society. The Great Society were big government programs to address education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and welfare, the Office of Economic Opportunity and big labor and labor unions."

The audience sat there, silent.

Well, when rattled off one after the other who's going to boo Medicare and Social Security? Or public education, medical care, solving urban problems, solving rural poverty, creating roads, bridges, railroads, and airports, addressing hunger and homelessness?

She then said that Biden's Build Back Better is today's Great Society program and Joe's not done yet.

Hhmmm... that was sounding more and more like a Joe Biden reelection campaign commercial. I mean, that's exactly what Biden says: "We still have work to do. We're not done yet." Give us four more years.

All the Biden campaign has to do is slap some video onto her speech of Greene bragging about the $2.5 billion going to her district for solar panel production thanks to Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, which the Georgia republican, along with all of her GOP colleagues, opposed, and he's got a pretty compelling reelection ad.
