Political Quotes

“Most people understand that we have a real tangible need for the safety nets of Social Security and Medicare. The hard lessons of history compelled us to create protections for our seniors who have given us a lifetime of hard work and deserve security in their golden years. But Washington Republicans just don't get it. They want to privatize Social Security and put seniors' retirement at the mercy of the stock market. They want to repeal the benefits we provided through Medicare. If Republicans had their way, they'd reopen the doughnut hole. They'd take away free, preventative health care under Medicare, and they'd play roulette with our seniors' retirement, their access to doctors, and their prescription drugs. Washington Republicans have turned their backs on our seniors. I'm proud to stand by our seniors and make sure they have quality, affordable health care, safety and security in retirement, and peace of mind that these benefits are here to stay.”
