On the 88th anniversary of the Social Security Act being signed into law, Republicans are celebrating by plotting to cut senior’s hard earned benefits.
House Republicans in the Republican Study Committee – over 170 Republican House members – unveiled their latest budget proposal in June which detailed plans to raise the retirement age, reduce benefits, and privatize Medicare.

In May, Speaker McCarthy promised to create a commission to identify cuts to Social Security to appease the MAGA extremists in his conference. After getting called out for this new attack on Social Security he has gone strangely silent on the status of this so-called commission. What is Speaker McCarthy hiding?

“Extreme MAGA Republicans are hellbent on making devastating cuts to Social Security – jeopardizing the health, safety, and financial security of our seniors. It’s in their DNA. Today’s 88th anniversary of the Social Security Act is a poignant reminder that only one Party is working to save a program that’s been a life-line to the middle class: House Democrats.”
