John,

Paul Krugman wrote in the New York Times[1] with an urgent warning:

Krugman is a Nobel Prize-winning economist with a keen sense of how politics works. In his op-ed, he correctly identifies that Social Security has historically been protected by its overwhelming popularity with the public. But he recognizes that, in a world where billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos can literally buy elections, popular support may not be enough:

I’ve argued that Social Security will almost certainly always be protected because seniors vote. But that’s relevant only because we live in a democracy — and democracy, as political scientists like to say, “is a system in which parties lose elections.”

Billionaires have been trying to destroy Social Security and Medicare for nearly a century. They see Donald Trump as their chance. Donate to make sure every senior knows this before they vote in 6 days!

Musk is already signaling that suffering is on the way if Trump wins.[2] Both Trump and Musk have floated that they could cut one-third of government spending, with Musk promising “no exceptions.” That means cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

We have 6 days to stop Trump, Musk, and their billionaire backers. We need to leave it all on the field!

Rush a donation to Social Security Works and make sure seniors know what Trump has planned BEFORE they vote!
