Today's Heritage Scorecard: Does House GOP Support Massive Social Security Cuts?

February 23, 2016

The Heritage Foundation has finally provided rudderless House GOP leaders with a budget blueprint. Now, as House Republicans race against the clock to pack these extreme, Heritage-backed ideas into their own supposedly forthcoming budget resolution, here's a time-saver: House Republicans can score themselves on the Heritage Budget by answering some simple questions.

Question: Do House Republicans support slashing Social Security, increasing the retirement age, and stripping away retirement benefits from millions of seniors, like the Heritage Budget does?

Yes. I, House GOP Member, stand with Republicans like Paul Ryan who support Heritage's plan to slash Social Security.

No. I stand with House Democrats who are fighting to protect Social Security.
House Republicans: if you answered YESto the question of whether you support slashing Social Security, you're safe with the Heritage Foundation. But you can trust that the American people will score you differently.
