LUNCHEON FORUM
Keep Social Security & Medicare Off
the Federal Budget Chopping Block!
What is happening to our great nation? The middle class is vanishing, and
income inequality is the worst in our nation’s history. Many people work their
whole lives but have too little or no retirement savings. Proposals in
Washington call for short and long term benefit reductions to both Social
Security and Medicare. The 14th Congressional District could lose over $4
million in benefits for seniors in 2015 alone! Enacting the proposed changes
will hurt older people, local economies, women, and the disabled in greater
proportion. Join us to hear from experts who will dispute the myths, and join
with advocates who are fighting back against balancing the federal deficit on
the backs of those most in need of these cherished federal programs.
