TRUMP MOVES TO DEFUND SOCIAL SECURITY





Social Security is a bedrock program for senior citizens and the disabled.  It is a social insurance program that was designed under Catholic inspiration thanks to the effort of Msgr. John A. Ryan, an advisor to FDR and the foremost Catholic social thinker of his day, along with ideas developed by Catholic social leaders in Germany.

The Democratic Party has never weakened in its defense of Social Security and JOE BIDEN will defend this program for the elderly and disabled.

In reaction to Trump's plan to defund Social Security, Vice President Biden announced:  

"One order is Donald Trump’s first shot in a new, reckless war on Social Security. Trump announced a payroll tax plan with no protections or guarantees — like the ones the Obama-Biden administration enforced a decade ago — that the Social Security Trust Fund will be made whole. And, Trump specifically stated today that if re-elected, he plans to undermine the entire financial footing of Social Security. He is laying out his roadmap to cutting Social Security. Our seniors and millions of Americans with disabilities are under enough stress without Trump putting their hard-earned Social Security benefits in doubt."

Please stand with Joe  Biden against Trump's plan to defund this important (and very Catholic) social insurance program.
