    Here we go. This has been the Republican plan all along – explode the deficit with trillion-dollar tax cuts to billionaires and then come after OUR earned benefits to pay for it.

        Add Mitch McConnell's statement today to the long list of Republican plans to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Read about all of them here: https://schakowsky.house.gov/uploads/Seniors%20Task%20Force%20Report%207.24.18.pdf …

        Every Dem candidate should be running on this, healthcare and tax relief to wealthy. "This has been the Republican plan all along – explode the deficit with trillion-dollar tax cuts to billionaires and then come after OUR earned benefits to pay for it. "

        SS. Medicare and Medicaid are NOT entitlements. The big tax cuts they gave the rich are the problem. I say put all congressmen and senators on Medicare. Take away their expensive insurances and salaries are a big part of the problem.

        McConnell had 21 months to hammer out a balanced budget with Trump and Ryan. Ultimately, they are responsible for the debt and deficit (not Dems)

        We knew this was coming. We just can't "afford" Social Security and Medicare. We just don't have the money. Tax cuts were "vital" and now we can starve granny to make up for them.

        @ldrMcConnell, @SpeakerRyan, You created the e $2 trillon deficit by voting for #GOPTaxScam for the wealthiest Americans and corporations. The fix includes raising their tax rate to 50% and eliminating loopholes. 2. imposing a small fee on stock transactions. Save SS & Medicar
