Michael Hiltzik: Who's lying about the GOP's plans to cut Social Security? The GOP, of course

President Joe Biden has congressional Republicans all asquirm as he conducts a post-State of the Union speech national tour.

Why? Because Biden has doubled down — or as Fox News has it, "tripled down" — on his assertion during the speech that the GOP has been planning to cut Social Security.

Not so, they say. Never happened. Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rick Scott, R-Fla., were even caught on camera during the speech wearing "Who, me?" expressions of injured innocence.
