The Republican plan is a cruel hoax that fails my mother and seniors across the country. We have one of the largest budget surpluses in our Nation's history, and Republicans would prefer to give it away in tax cuts to the wealthy. But that is not going to help my mother, and it is not going to help the millions of other seniors struggling to buy medications with only their Social Security check for income. Vote against this unwise, unnecessary, and deceptive plan.
