U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee has responded to statements made by Democrats on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Blackburn released a fact sheet underscoring Republican efforts to safeguard these essential benefits. Earlier this year, Blackburn introduced the RETIREES FIRST Act, which aims to reduce taxes on Social Security benefits for seniors.

“Democrats can lie all they want, but the American people deserve to know the truth: Republicans are fighting to put more money in their pockets – not less,” said Senator Blackburn. “Republicans are going to strengthen and protect these benefits for Americans who are playing by the rules by rooting out any waste, fraud, and abuse in the system.”

The fact sheet detailing these measures is available for public access.
