This week, Speaker Kevin McCarthy just announced:
Republicans are insisting that any legislation to keep the government open is paired with a special ‘commission’ to cut Social Security and Medicare. And they want nearly $2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid as a down payment.
This is just what we warned would happen. Now, it’s here.
The government will shut down in just seven days. We’re launching an all-out campaign to stop this commission from getting off the ground, and protect Medicaid from their knives.
President Biden rightly called this proposed commission a “death panel” for Social Security and Medicare.
The best way to defeat these commissions is to stop them before they form. Can you donate $7 to our campaign to crush the Republican death panel for Social Security?
We’re fighting to remind politicians that Social Security benefits shouldn’t be cut―they should be EXPANDED. Even 73% of Republicans want to EXPAND, NOT CUT, Social Security and pay for it by making the wealthy contribute their fair share. That’s the real “bipartisan solution”—but Republican politicians refuse to support it.
Don’t believe their lies. Republicans claim they want to “save” Social Security, but they want all the pain to fall on seniors who are already stretched to the limit with high drug prices, housing costs, and food prices. Republicans will do anything to keep slashing taxes for their ultra-wealthy donors.
We’re up against a massive Wall Street-funded campaign to cut Social Security and Medicare behind closed doors. We’ve beaten them before―but we can only do it when we stick together. Can you chip in $7 today?
Thank you,
