This article is from last December, but it's worth remembering. GOPers knew the #TaxScam would cause enormous deficits. They planned (and still plan) to dismantle Social Security and Medicare to pay for it. Problem is, SocSec and Medicare HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEFICIT.

Both Social Security and Medicare are funded through dedicated taxes (your payroll taxes, otherwise known as FICA), and are NOT part of the general fund.

If Republicans are not defeated in November, they will come back early next year and try to sell you the lie that Medicare and Social Security are breaking the budget and must be gutted.

The #TaxScam was a vast multi-trillion-dollar giveaway to the richest of the rich, a theft of tax money--and was always intended to be a theft of YOUR healthcare and retirement money.
Stop the GOP. They want you to die sick and impoverished.
