Don Bacon Continues to Threaten Cuts to Social Security

Eighty-nine years after it was established, Social Security is bringing dignity and peace of mind to Nebraskans

Eighty-nine years after Social Security was created, Don Bacon and his MAGA colleagues are trying to cut Nebraska seniors’ hard-earned benefits.

This Congress, Bacon endorsed his party’s plan that would cut Social Security by $1.5 trillion, raise the retirement age, and cut disability benefits.

He voted repeatedly to jeopardize these programs, including voting to shutter or cut hours for 240 Social Security field offices and making it harder for seniors to access services. Bacon has even called for raising the retirement age.

80% of voters oppose plans to cut Social Security benefits by raising the retirement age, and 81% oppose any cuts to retirement programs.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Don Bacon won’t stand up for Nebraska’s seniors because he’s more concerned with appeasing his party to stay in Washington. Voters will make sure to reject Bacon’s dangerous agenda.”
