Trump & GOP Want #SocialSecurity & #Medicare Cut-We Should Expand Both

8:12 AM

"Social Security gives millions of Americans dignity. For more than 80 years, it has paid out every benefit on time and without delay. At a time of great economic anxiety, that is a record we should all be proud of. And we should all stand against politicians who favor shrinking it."

"Whenever Republican leaders talk about how concerned they are about the deficit and why we need to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security to fix it, remember the truth: the Trump tax giveaway to the rich and large corporations will add nearly $2 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Our job: do everything we can to stop them from destroying the programs that working people rely on to pay for their egregious tax breaks." Senator Bernie Sanders

McConnell eyes cuts to Medicare, Social Security

40% of American middle class face poverty by the time they reach age 65: Study

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders: Our illustrious president said that Medicare for all "can't be afforded." Mr. President, it's your disastrous efforts to take health care away from millions of Americans that can't be afforded.
