Related: About this forum'BIG CUTS,' Republicans Will Cut Your Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid Benefits
After the election Mitch McConnell & the GOP will cut your benefits, but Democrats will expand them. Mitch McConnell recently went on TV and said in no uncertain terms that the Republican plan was to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A new Priorities USA Ad, Big Cuts, shows exactly what every Democrat should be saying over and over again between now and November 6. If Republicans keep control of Congress, they will use the $2 trillion cost of their tax handout to the wealthy as an excuse to slash Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
It is heartening to see this excellent new ad. Pundits who claim that Democrats dont have a unified message are wrong. They do, and it is one that resonates with voters across age, race, gender, and political affiliationhands off our Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits, except to expand them.
Unlike the corporate media that slavishly reports on Donald Trumps latest lies, Democrats understand that this election is about the future of Social Security and health care. Their closing message is exactly what it should be: Vote for us, and we will protect and expand Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Vote for Republicans, and they will reach into your pockets and steal your Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to give to their paymasters on Wall Street.

Many right wingers and T. supporters are swept up in hot issues like gunz, taxes, race and pro life yet are clueless about the harsh 'economics' reality of the GOP.
