John,

There’s no disguising it: The Trump administration isn’t interested in fighting the pandemic, they’re just interested in using it as cover to destroy sacred American institutions.

That’s why they’re going after the post office. And that’s why the only assistance they’re willing to offer Americans who are struggling economically comes directly from defunding Medicare and Social Security!

We’ve been sounding the alarm, and we’re not going to stop until Trump abandons this cruel agenda! Chip in to help us drive calls to Senators to make sure Trump’s scheme is DOA!

Democrats have made proposals to expand Medicare to cover everyone who lost health insurance during the pandemic. Democrats have proposed aid to nursing homes, which are among the deadliest vectors for COVID-19 transmission. And Democrats are calling for nationwide vote by mail, so that we can have a fair election this November without forcing people to put their lives on the line!

Republicans have opposed all of these—it’s an all-out War on Seniors!

Read more about Trump’s dangerous obsession below, and then join us to fight back!

Thanks,

John,

Social Security and Medicare are funded by dedicated contributions that working people make with every paycheck. Donald Trump wants to get rid of that funding, then use it as an excuse to destroy these programs!

Just today, Trump’s director of the National Economic Council called for the complete elimination of payroll contributions for Social Security AND Medicare until the end of the year!¹

Here’s the truth: A temporary cut to Social Security and Medicare’s funding is an election-year trap for Democrats. If Trump wins re-election, he’s already signaled that he’d like to eliminate that funding permanently. And if a Democrat is elected President, Republicans will blast the new President for raising taxes—which is actually just allowing Social Security and Medicare funding to return to normal levels.

Social Security Works is leading the fight to protect seniors from the Trump administration’s attacks on them! From fighting his attempts to defund Social Security and Medicare to advocating for safer conditions at nursing homes, we’re on the front lines fighting against the Republican War on Seniors! Chip in $7 today to fight with us!

We’ve been warning that Trump was coming for Social Security’s funding. Now, after Republicans and Democrats in the Senate have declared cuts to Social Security a non-starter, the Trump administration is asking for even more—now they’re coming after Medicare too!

Let’s remember: Eliminating Social Security and Medicare contributions only helps people who still have jobs! It does nothing to help the 36 million people who have lost their jobs during the pandemic. It does nothing to help the people who have seen their hours cut during the pandemic. It helps people on the higher end of the income spectrum more than lower income folks, and it helps corporations most of all.

The only reason to defund Social Security and Medicare is to weaken these beloved American institutions. That’s why we have to fight like hell against this terrible idea!

Chip in today to fight back against the Trump administration’s war on seniors!
