In other news, Ron Johnson just comes out and wants to kill Social Security and Medicare by taking them out of mandatory spending and placing them into discretionary spending.

Does he want to kill them? He seems to be saying that we should make them discretionary so we can deny certain people benefits. That's not how it works, obviously, but it's hard to say whether he wants to kill them and is appealing to race/class to convince voters to support that or if he's just too stupid to know what he's talking about. (Or maybe even both?)
