Republicans are in support of dangerous cuts to Social Security and Medicaid that will screw over their constituents in order to pay for their billionaire tax cut. Empowered by their allies in Congress like Joni Ernst, Donald Trump and his supporters have led an aggressive effort to decimate Social Security’s workforce and infrastructure. These are cuts that target the core stability of this earned benefit American workers rely on.
“Ernst has enabled cuts that will gut Social Security and Medicaid. She’s responsible for this, and while her voters are struggling to afford groceries and health care, they won’t forget Ernst’s betrayal,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado.
Iowans who depend on Social Security and Medicaid will suffer as a result:
- Approximately 687,630 of Iowans rely on Social Security.
Over 700,000 Iowans are covered by Medicaid.
