Republicans Release Plan to GUT Social Security

Read more HERE:

"A panel comprised of three-quarters of the House Republican caucus released a budget proposal on Wednesday that would raise the Social Security retirement age—cutting benefits across the board—while further privatizing Medicare and slashing taxes for the rich, a plan that Democratic lawmakers and progressive advocacy groups said is a clear statement of the GOP's warped priorities ahead of a critical spending fight this fall.

The proposal outlined by the 175-member Republican Study Committee (RSC), led by Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), would gradually raise Social Security's full retirement age—the age at which people are eligible for full Social Security benefits—to 69, up from the current level of 67 for those born in 1960 or later.

Nancy Altman, the president of Social Security Works, said the RSC budget would "destroy Social Security as we know it," using a "modest shortfall" that's more than a decade away to justify reducing benefits for millions."

When McCarthy talks about helping Americans, he is only referring to the extremely wealthy.

[luisdavidllense]

"Fiscally responsible" just means "give everything to the rich" for the GOP.

[estellarichardson]

Kevin McCarthy should be removed as house speaker.

[stuartyoung]

It's high time that we, the People, vote to eliminate rinky-dink politics out of our government.

[debbiethompson]

WE EARNED THAT MONEY!!!! I have worked for 53 yrs. I am still working at 67.

[erinj]

Democrats need to blast this loud and clear. Cutting Social Security and Medicare will bring people to the polls.

[MAJA]

I will NEVER, EVER vote or have anything to do with the GOP

[shadowjudge]

**sigh** Here we go again.

LEAVE OUR SOCIAL SECURITY ALONE, REPUBLICANS!!!

[MISSYBSNRN]

VOTE THEM ALL OUT. American cannot survive with these evil policies.

[StevenKahler-mmvj]

We should cut pensions and benefits of our elected representatives!

[imalikconnor]

If Congress is really serious about cutting wasteful spending, let's start with their wages.

[DurathVaul]

If nothing else makes you vote out repubs, this should.

[BeverlyDonohue]

We paid into this, NOT the goverment. It is our money, leave it alone, you fools!!

[luliefrye]

We need to stop funding Congress retirement. Billionaires need to pay their fair share of taxes....No one needs to be a billionaire, no one. This tragic assault on the middle and lower class to pay the way for the rich to not have to pay their taxes. Sick

[Joe-ijof]

It's almost as if cutting $2T in taxes, overwhelmingly for the top 1% and corporations, makes it hard to pay for popular or necessary gov't programs. Still, the biggest issue in the US is people voting against their own economic interests. Sad.

[HeisenbergCertainty]

Brought to you by the party who gave tax cuts to billionaires.

"You all just got a lot richer." ~ Donald Trump, speaking to his billionaire friends and donors after the 2017 billionaire tax cuts.

[billisnice]

Make the rich uncomfortable and make them pay their fair share of taxes.

[ArchDragon]

70yr olds working in coal mines alongside 12yr olds if they have their way.
Shameful 😢

[EmmettHenderson-hfzm]

Talked to a group of Norwegian s and ask them what they received retirement they unanimously answered $2000 minimum and the ones I talked to received much over $5000 and these were working class plumbers, electricians and construction workers. We are getting fkd in a gigantic way in this country.

[arianahoule]

And so, the GOP voters, being affected by the cutbacks to Social Security and Medicare, will once again vote for the GOP. Insanity.
