No one voted to cut Social Security. No one voted to cut Medicare. And no one voted for higher drug prices.
Donald Trump ran on a promise to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Based on Trump’s long record of working to cut and undermine our earned benefits, we don’t trust that promise for one second. But we plan to make him keep it.
There’s a good reason Trump didn’t campaign on cutting Social Security: Ninety-two percent of Americans think that’s a terrible idea.
But Trump spent his first term proposing cuts to our earned benefits, asking to slash billions in every budget.
And Vice President-elect JD Vance has already indicated that the commission led by Elon Musk and pharma billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy will have Social Security in its crosshairs.
Again and again, to Presidents of both parties, we have insisted: Any changes to Social Security must happen through regular Congressional order, in the light of day.
