Hi,
Republicans in Congress are barreling America towards a government
shutdown in mere days over extreme plans to slash government programs like
Social Security.
MAGA Republicans are holding the entire country hostage all in order to
push “steeper spending cuts”^1 to the social safety net Americans depend
on — including devastating cuts to Social Security. Democrats in Congress
must hold the line and block all proposed cuts to Social Security.

right-wing cuts!

The House GOP released a plan to raise the Social Security retirement age
to 69, which would result in benefit reductions across the board for
seniors.^2 And the right-wingers in Congress will use leverage of a
potential government shutdown in less than a week to slash Social Security
benefits.
And the GOP plan would continue to protect the ultra-rich — millionaires
and billionaires who pay a far lower percentage of their incomes in Social
Security taxes than the average American.
We need to strengthen Social Security, by removing these ridiculous
loopholes and increasing benefits, NOT weaken the program like Republicans
want by raising the retirement age and reducing benefits.
The GOP may threaten a government shutdown, but Democrats must stand firm
and protect Social Security!
