During the presidential campaign, Republican Donald Trump said he would not cut Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, but no matter.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, the next Senate minority leader, on Tuesday warned that Republicans are “plotting a war on seniors.”

The New York Democrat said he was “so disappointed” that Trump has nominated Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) to be his Health and Human Services secretary. “When it comes to issues like Medicare, the Affordable Care Act and Planned Parenthood, Congressman Price and the average American couldn’t be further apart,” Schumer told a news conference on Capitol Hill. …

Let’s compare- Demcorats have

Denied seniors cost of living increases for several years under bammy

caused the price of food to skyrocket by enacting massive business regulations

dear leader has raided medicare to pay for illegals

obammycare means seniors now get really crappy medical service

dear leader is threatening to raise prices even further by enacting massive ‘climate change’ regulations across the nation

democrats oppose drilling which would cut gasoline prices and fuel prices here in the US if we became energy independent (some claim)-

And it’s republicans who are going to ‘wage a war’ on seniors?

The Left has a predictable, melodramatic way with words.

They have lost all credibility. When President Trump reassures seniors they will believe him.

It's liberals like Schumer plotting against seniors:

Sap-Happy liberals like Schumer made dam sure they n-e-v-e-r run out of tax dollars to fund sanctuary cities, welfare and food stamps, education and healthcare, endless SS payments and EITC checks for these parasitic immigrants.

All of them on our soil illegally....money-guzzling creeps who never put a dime into the system.

Sap-happy Liberals Democrats like Schumer made dam sure there are on-the-book govt mandates that force struggling taxpayers to foot the bill for illegal refugees here to go back and forth between America and their supposedly hostile homelands on the taxpayers' dime.

<======================>

Isn't it strange (smirk)?

Schumer types are the first to whine they're running out of SS money for working Americans who put in money for years.....

The first to whine they're running out of pension money aging working Americans put in for years.

The first to whine they're running out of Medicare money aging working Americans put in for years.

Funding to Domestic Programs Being Cut to Fund Illegal Immigrant Minors

Written by Raven Clabough

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reports that the Department of Health and Human Services is cutting funding to domestic programs to pay for room and board for illegal alien youths. HHS must come up with $167 million to cover the costs to feed and shelter the unaccompanied minors through December 9 and has turned to other programs, including Medicare, for the money. And while the programs from which the money is being transferred are unconstitutional uses of taxpayer dollars, the move underscores that the American people are not this administration’s priority.
