Ives will target seniors for cuts

Posted February 08, 2020 12:00 am

Candidate Jeanne Ives continues to stonewall any explanation of her position on cutting Medicare and Social Security after her pal Trump announced last week that he will seek to cut both after the 2020 election. But, if voters in the 6th District take a look at the endorsements she's bragged about, it's not hard to figure out that she would join in targeting cuts to these critical senior programs. On board with Ives are: 1) Heritage Foundation (supports cuts) 2) Club for Growth (supports cuts) 3) FreedomWorks (supports cuts) So, when Ives tells us that she'll "protect seniors," it's simply not credible.

As she endeavors to deceive enough voters to get elected this November, who wants to bet that she won't just fall in line with her big donors and proceed to "kneecap" seniors once in office?
