The IRS funding has been a frequent target of Republicans, who have denounced it as creating an \u201carmy of 87,000 IRS agents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill would also require that any cuts to Social Security or Medicare be approved by a two-thirds vote in Congress and would block Medicare savings from being used for other spending initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear how this legislation fits in with Scott\u2019s previous proposal, which has been at the center of the recent dispute with Biden and Democrats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In an 11-point plan released last February, Scott suggested that all federal legislation should sunset after five years, and \u201cif a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.\u201d This would mean that Social Security and Medicare, like other federal legislation, would need to be renewed by Congress every five years.<\/p>\n<p>Biden earned a sharp response from Republicans during his annual State of the Union speech on Tuesday, when he suggested that some GOP lawmakers also wanted the entitlement programs to sunset. Although he declined to name specific individuals, Biden appeared to be pointing to Scott\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is being proposed by individuals. I\u2019m politely not naming them, but it\u2019s being proposed by some of you,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>After the speech, Scott doubled down on his original proposal and accused Biden of lying about his plan, calling it \u201ca dishonest move \u2026 from a very confused president,\u201d even inviting the president to debate him while he visited his home state.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida Republican has received lukewarm support from his own party for the original proposal, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday calling it \u201cthe Rick Scott plan\u201d and \u201cnot the Republican plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
