John,

After Donald Trump revealed on a Fox News town hall that he wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare, his campaign is trying to play cleanup. He just tweeted: “I will protect your Social Security and Medicare, just as I have for the past 3 years.”

Here’s the truth about the last 3 years:

  • Donald Trump has proposed trillions of dollars in cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in each of his budget proposals, while cutting taxes even further for the super-rich.
  • His administration spent its first year trying to destroy Medicaid and Medicare with Trumpcare.
  • He reinstated a Reagan-era rule to deny Social Security benefits to people with disabilities, which was reversed in the 1980s because it was too cruel, but more than 20,000 people died before their benefits could be restored.
  • His Social Security Administration has increased regulations and closed offices, making it harder for Americans to access their earned benefits.

If that doesn’t sound like protecting Social Security and Medicare to you, chip in $5 to fight back!

Thanks,

Alex Lawson
