So this information is not true? -
“In 2013, with Republicans controlling the House, DeSantis joined 103 Republicans on a failed resolution that called for raising the age to qualify for Medicare and Social Security to 70, according to a Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget analysis.

The measure also supported a transition of Medicare, a program funded by the federal government, to a premium support system, for which the federal government would designate a pot of money for each beneficiary to spend on a private insurance plan.

The resolution’s text stated the measure would have affected future beneficiaries; it says, “those in or near retirement will see no changes.””

“ for which the federal government would designate a pot of money for each beneficiary to spend on a private insurance plan.”

A market based plan to fix a crappy system? Sounds good to me .
Trumps attack mailers list no solutions, just attacks.

Again this are standard Dem tactics , disappointed to see Trump use them .
And yes, SS and Medicare need to be fixed .
But anyone who tries is given the Reagan treatment . That is when the Dems said Reagan wanted seniors to eat canned dog food when he tried to fix things.
