Congressman Todd Young – who infamously called Social Security a “Ponzi Scheme” – will welcome to Indiana none other than the architect of the budget that would privatize Social Security and end Medicare as we know it. Today Speaker Paul Ryan, who lead the fight for irresponsible cuts that would cause Hoosier seniors to pay over $6,000 more for health care, will campaign with Congressman Young, who not only was a reliable vote for Ryan’s dangerous policies but said he “helped to draft” them. In anticipation of their joint appearance, here is a list of what the Young-Ryan budget would have done to Hoosier families:
“Congressman Todd Young has been a reliable vote for the harmful Ryan Budget that would have devastating consequences for Hoosier seniors and hardworking middle class families, and now he’s campaigning alongside the budget’s architect,” said Lauren Passalacqua, DSCC National Press Secretary. “Todd Young isn’t looking out for Hoosiers’ best interests, he’s looking out for his own. That’s not the kind of Senator Indiana needs.”
