John,

This week, DC insider newsletter Axios highlighted the fact that Democrats’ closing pitch to voters centers around a warning that Republicans have announced their plans to destroy the economy if Democrats don’t agree to cut Social Security and Medicare.

But instead of highlighting the very real threats to real people, Axios has framed this as a cynical “Hail Mary bid to dent Republican credibility on the economy.” (Never mind that ‘Republican credibility on the economy’ is a media creation. The last two Republican presidencies each left the economy in smoldering ruins that required trillions in stimulus spending to recover from.)

The contempt that these DC insiders hold towards the people who will depend on Social Security and Medicare is astonishing. This isn’t a game to see who can trick voters―it’s our country and our lives on the line.

Republicans are deadly serious about their plans to destroy Social Security and Medicare. Democrats are absolutely right to tell voters about those plans.

Thank you,
