Todd Young Campaigns with Architect of Budgets that Would Have Privatized Social Security & Ended Medicare As We Know It

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:

 

  • Eliminate coverages and increase costs for more than 1 million Hoosier Medicare beneficiaries
  • Cut aid to workers whose jobs have been sent overseas by nearly $1 billion
  • Slash funding for agricultural programs that are vital to the Indiana economy by $180 billion

 

“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.”
