AOC says she's not convinced Kevin McCarthy will actually keeps his hands off cuts to Medicare and Social Security: 'The math does not add up'

• Kevin McCarthy has promised that cuts to Medicare and Social Security won't be part of a debt limit deal.
• AOC told The Independent she's concerned they might still be cut given lack of details on GOP spending cuts.
• During the State of the Union address, Republicans heckled Biden for saying they want to cut the programs.

AOC is worried that GOP promises to leave Medicare and Social Security alone might not hold up. 

As debt limit negotiations have been heating up, Republican lawmakers have expressed their intent to use raising the debt limit — and keeping the US on top of paying its bills — as leverage to achieve their own priorities, particularly spending cuts.
