Hi,

In an interview on CNBC earlier this month, Donald Trump expressed
openness to cutting Social Security.^1

“So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in
terms of cutting,” Trump said.^2 This is the latest example of Republicans
going after Social Security — and trying to hide their true intentions by
dancing around the heart of the matter. Cuts to Social Security would
inflict pain and suffering on all those who rely on the social safety net
to get by in this country.

expand Social Security. We won’t let the GOP gut the social safety net!

The Social Security Expansion Act would fund Social Security through the
end of the century and expand benefits across the program.^3 But Donald
Trump and Republicans want Social Security on the chopping block.

The legislation would also expand Social Security benefits by $2,400 per
year, per person, funded by much-needed tax hikes on the rich.^4 But
Donald Trump and Republicans would rather protect billionaire CEOs and big
corporations than strengthen the social safety net.

Instead of doing what the American people demand and need by strengthening
Social Security and making the wealthy pay their fair share, Wall
Street-funded GOP politicians in Congress are trying to cut benefits and
protect tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires. We can’t let it
happen.

REJECT Republican cuts to one of the most important public benefits
programs in America.

Thanks for taking action,
