In response to Senator McConnell’s admission that he will target Medicare and Social Security to pay for the debt that ballooned because of the GOP tax handout to big corporations and the wealthy, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein issued the following statement:
“Every Republican Senate candidate is on the hook for Mitch McConnell’s plan to cut Medicare and Social Security. First it was jeopardizing pre-existing conditions coverage, then it was pursuing an age tax that would charge older Americans more for care, and now it’s targeting the benefits Americans have paid into. This platform is disqualifying, and just like taking away coverage for pre-existing conditions, it’s exactly what GOP candidates don’t want to be talking about weeks before the election.”
