John – You know I’ve been sounding the alarm on Republicans’ plans to gut Social Security and Medicare for some time.
This is no idle threat. They’ve already got the legislation drawn up, they’re just waiting to get control of the majority again.
And they know they’ll have the votes, because Republicans – like my opponent, Senator Mike Crapo – nearly always vote in lockstep.
Social Security has lifted millions of seniors out of poverty and makes sure people like my 105-year-old grandma have a stable income to live out their golden years with dignity.
