There’s an old saying that when all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
For Republicans, all they’ve got is a desire to destroy Social Security and Medicare and give tax handouts to the super-rich, so everything looks like an excuse to destroy our earned benefits..
In 2010, their plan to fight the Great Recession―which was driven by mass unemployment―was to impoverish seniors by setting up a fast-tracked commission to cut Social Security and Medicare. Now, their plan to fight rising prices―which are driven by a combination of corporate greed and historically low unemployment―is to impoverish seniors by setting up a fast-tracked commission to cut Social Security and Medicare.
We’ve stopped them before, and we’ll stop them again. Donate to Social Security Works today to save Social Security from Republicans!

― MICHAEL’S EMAIL ―
Senator Mitt Romney is not a moderate, John.
While Romney is one of the few Republicans uninterested in the violent overthrow of the 2020 election, he remains committed to the same radical, anti-senior ideology that doomed his Presidential campaign in 2012.
Just today, he published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal1 that revived his scheme―called the TRUST Act―that sets up an undemocratic closed-door, fast-tracked process to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Every time Mitt Romney has brought up this scheme, Social Security Works has stopped it. We’re going to do it again. Can you rush a $7 donation to stop the TRUST Act and save Social Security today?
Sen. Romney first proposed the TRUST Act under President Trump, where it would be paired with Trump’s plan to defund Social Security during the pandemic. Now, Sen. Romney is pitching it as a plan to respond to inflation.
Whether the problem is a global pandemic on its way to killing millions or corporate profiteering raising prices, Mitt Romney’s response is the same: Cut Social Security and Medicare.
In this way, he’s snugly at home in the Republican Party. His colleague, Sen. Rick Scott, chair of the committee in charge of electing Republicans to the Senate and perpetrator of the largest case of Medicare fraud in history2, has proposed a governing document that would end all federal laws within 5 years―and even Mitch McConnell acknowledged that Republicans would allow Social Security and Medicare to “sunset.”
Together, we can save Social Security and Medicare from Republicans like Mitt Romney and Rick Scott! Donate $7 today!
