Seniors are rightfully furious at Donald Trump

John,

Several of Donald Trump’s advisors, including Jared Kushner, support the so-called “Eagle Plan” which would give people cash, but only if they forfeit a portion of their future Social Security benefits.

At Social Security Works, we thought this was a terrible idea―so we teamed up with our friends at Data for Progress to run a poll and see what the American people thought.1 And guess what? People HATE it―Republicans and Democrats alike. But especially older voters.

  • 55% of voters want the government to expand unemployment insurance and send out $2,000 monthly checks vs. just 20% who support the Eagle Plan

    • Given this choice, only 16% of voters over age 45 support the Eagle Plan

    • Even Republican voters are more than twice as likely to support direct payments to people (44%) as to support the Eagle Plan (20%)

We’re putting these numbers in front of every member of Congress to make sure the Eagle Plan is DOA.

Sign now: Tell Congress to reject the Trump administration’s plan to destroy Social Security.

Seniors are rightfully furious at Donald Trump. Nursing homes across the country are turning into death traps. Yet instead of supporting comprehensive legislation to address this crisis, Trump’s advisors are focused on forcing people to choose between going hungry now and working until they die.

Join Social Security Works and our coalition partners and tell Congress to reject the Eagle Plan, which is universally despised by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Thanks,

Alex Lawson
