Sen. Rick Scott & your Social Security
To the editor:
hat will YOU DO if Sen. Rick Scott ever gets the chance to implement his plan to “sunset” senior’s promised Social Security? Just because Scott has zipped it in this election year doesn’t mean he’s changed his plans.
Will you need to return to work? Or will your kids have to feed and house you? Your pets? Your mate? In their basement? Or will you need their ground floor master without stairs? Can they pay your phone bill? Gas up your car and pay insurance? Buy your meds etc. if Medicare “sunsets” too?
Talk to your family NOW about what will happen if you ever lose your promised SS & Medicare benefits. Get answers to questions that you need to address.
To prevent a broke senior tsunami crashing up on adult children’s doorsteps all across America, ask Scott to work on changes to keep the Social Security fund solvent without benefit cuts instead of “sunsetting” benefits. See what he says. Also ask Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.
Numerous Republicans have also advocated cuts. The GOP budget committee has recommended SS cuts for the past several years.
Make your plan NOW. We’ll all need one if Scott & his GOP win.
