I'm sure you've seen reports of the negotiations over the deficit going on in Washington DC this summer and as more and more time goes by, the more heated they seem to get.
You see, politicians in Washington DC seem to think that having Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid on the table as chips to negotiate with is acceptable. However, you and I both know that workers and the middle class didn't create this crisis and cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid won't solve it. Some in Congress would like to see Social Security's Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) slashed, reducing the benefit retirees would receive!
Instead of focusing on job creation, it would seem that some in Washington would rather continue the disastrous policy of tax cuts for the richest Americans while the rest of the country continues to struggle to make ends meet all the while adding insult to injury by threatening to cut the programs that hard working Americans like you and I have been paying into our whole lives.
Join us in taking a quick minute to let Senator McCaskill and Senator Blunt know that gutting Social Security, ending Medicare and slashing Medicaid as a means to reducing the deficit is unacceptable.
Call our senators at (202) 224-3121. Tell them you won't stand for the budget to be balanced on the backs of working families.
