    I just don’t know how any member of @HouseGOP can look at this chart, and then justify making seniors living on a fixed income pay for special new tax breaks for Wall Street. The American people need a Congress that will fight #ForThePeople, not line the pockets of billionaires.https://twitter.com/JesseLehrich/status/1052273659543465985 …

        This is a direct attack on our seniors. Medicaid and Social Security aren't "entitlements," they are earned benefits for working class people. VOTE BLUE! McConnell eyes cuts to Medicare, Social Security to address deficit which Republicans caused!http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/mcconnell-eyes-cuts-medicare-social-security-address-deficit …

        I think it's pretty obvious the GOP does not care about struggling Americans.

        It's your job to make sure they pay their 20% tax rate - the gains can't be allowed to be transferred to real estate derivatives of SDO'S & CDO at zero taxes paid

        Don’t you know that what’s good for business is always good for America? Even if such profits are going to the few Americans who already have lifetime financial security.

        Democrats hate it when banks, which fund nearly everything in the world, make money in order to keep funding everything in the world.

        “Seniors living on a fixed income” will be receiving the biggest raise in a decade thanks to the Trump Administration. And before someone says the cost of Medicare will go up negating the raise, No it won’t this time. It’s a done deal. Stop spreading lies. Typical Democrat.

        What happens when the economy is good! Peeps make money. Your memory must b limited to the Bush & B.O. years. Read, there was a times people were allowed to make money. Do u think the govt could use money better? My father taught me u never get a job from a poor person.

        Both programs are insolvent and have needed reform for decades. I don't know how any responsible adult can look at the expenditures and come to any other conclusion. The average American is collecting 1/3 more than they paid into the system, with many collecting 2/3 times more.

        Congress has been irresponsible for the past 30 years. Start making tougher choices and stop trying to bleed the American people dry.
