It’s been a week since Donald Trump became the President-Elect after a 2-year campaign in which he promised to protect Social Security and Medicare.
But Speaker Paul Ryan has other ideas. Speaker Ryan has long dreamed of dismantling our Social Security and Medicare systems, and now he’s got the power to do it. Along with Vice President-Elect Mike Pence, Ryan is stocking Trump’s transition team with long-time champions of Social Security privatization.
We can’t allow Donald Trump and Paul Ryan to ram through a privatization scheme that will dismantle Social Security and Medicare as we know them, leaving the American people at the mercy of Wall Street and the health insurance industry.
Let us know you’re with us. Click here to say loud and clear: No cuts to Social Security and Medicare!
Trump has named Mike Korbey and Dorcas Hardy to oversee the transition at the Social Security Administration. Korbey – a former George W. Bush advisor – has called Social Security “broken and bankrupt” while Hardy – a former member of Ronald Reagan’s administration – has openly advocated for privatization and called for the closure of hundreds of Social Security offices around the country.
We already know that House Speaker Paul Ryan is salivating over the possibility of privatizing Social Security and Medicare – handing our hard earned benefits over to Wall Street bankers and insurance companies.
We have defeated these attempts before. In 2005, George W. Bush and a unified Republican Congress attempted to privatize Social Security, and you stopped them.
We must stand together and tell Washington politicians where the American people stand: Expand, don’t cut Social Security!
Don’t give up.
