On the anniversary of Social Security being established, here’s your reminder that Sam Brown praised an extreme plan to sunset Social Security and Medicare
89 years ago, Social Security was established to ensure that Americans could retire with dignity and financial security. But thanks to MAGA extremists like Sam Brown, Nevadans’ hard-earned benefits are on the chopping block.
Brown was caught on tape saying he admired an extreme plan that would phase out Social Security and Medicare in five years – calling it a “roadmap for a better America.”
Brown has also publicly called for “painful” cuts to federal spending and has repeatedly supported plans that would force massive cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Brown has also welcomed both the endorsement and massive financial backing of Americans for Prosperity Action, a far-right Koch network organization that has called for drastic changes to Social Security, like raising the retirement age.
If Brown and MAGA Republicans have their way, millions of Americans would lose the financial support they’ve earned through a lifetime of hard work.
Nevada State Democratic Party Spokesperson Katharine Kurz:
“Sam Brown has repeatedly supported gutting Social Security for hardworking Nevadans, proving once again that he is deeply out of step. This program has been critical in ensuring financial stability and a dignified retirement for millions of Americans who have earned Social Security benefits through a lifetime of work, and it’s a disgrace to see Brown putting his MAGA politics ahead of what’s best for Nevadans.”
