Do Wisconsin Republicans in Congress agree to cut Social Security and Medicare. MADISON, Wis. – A group representing the majority of U.S. House Republicans, including Wisconsin’s Scott Fitzgerald, Glenn Grothman, Bryan Steil, and Tom Tiffany, just released their proposed agenda for next year – and Wisconsinites aren’t going to like it.
“It’s a day ending in ‘Y,’ which means that Republican politicians are once again going after Wisconsinites’ hard-earned retirement benefits. The choice couldn’t be more clear: while Democrats remain laser-focused on lowering costs and protecting reproductive freedoms, Republican politicians continue to dole out ultra-MAGA agendas that strip away Wisconsinites’ benefits and access to health care,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Rapid Response Director Julia Hamelburg. This proposal is just the latest threat to Social Security and Medicare from Republicans in Congress. Earlier this year, Rick Scott, the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, put forward a plan that was supported by RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel and other prominent Republicans that could put Wisconsinites’ Social Security and Medicare benefits on the chopping block. |
