John,
Politico just reported:
This is a red alert for Social Security and Medicare.
The Biden Administration has rightly called such a commission a “death panel for Medicare and Social Security.” Mike Johnson doesn’t care.
Speaker Mike Johnson is an anti-Social Security, anti-Medicare extremist. In his very first speech following his elevation to Speaker, Johnson called for the immediate creation of a “debt commission” that would create a fast-tracked closed-door process to destroy Social Security and Medicare.1
Mike Johnson’s stance on Social Security and Medicare is unambiguous. As Chair of the Republican Study Committee from 2019-2021, Johnson released budgets with huge cuts to Social Security and Medicare, including:2
-
Raising the retirement age
-
Decimating middle class benefits
-
Making annual cost-of-living increases smaller
-
Moving towards privatization of Social Security and Medicare
Social Security Works was founded to stop commissions like MAGA Mike’s. We know how to win―but we need your help. Can you chip in $7 today?
Thanks,
Michael Phelan Social Security Works
