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 Thom Tillis, 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.
“Tillis has enabled cuts that will gut Social Security and Medicaid. He is responsible for this, and while his voters are struggling to afford groceries and health care, they won’t forget Tillis’ betrayal,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado.
North Carolinians who depend on Social Security and Medicaid will suffer as a result:
- Approximately 2,276,121 of North Carolinians rely on Social Security.
- Approximately 2,648,378 of North Carolinians are covered by Medicaid.
Tillis suggested cutting entitlement programs like Social Security.
