President Biden, while still a senator for Delaware, introduced legislation to sunset all federal programs, including Social Security and Medicare, Fox News Digital has learned.
In 1975, while Biden was in the upper chamber of Congress, the now-president put forward a bill requiring all federal programs to sunset after four years.
When pushing his bill as a senator, Biden said "it requires every program to be looked at freshly at least once every four years."
"The examination is not just of the increased cost of the program, but of the worthiness of the entire program," he said in 1975.
Biden doubled down on his legislation in the '90s, saying on the Senate floor that his bill would affect Social Security.
