LETTER: Republicans would reduce deficit with program cuts

This is a shout-out to people in our community who are affected by Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.

If you’ve been following the news recently, you will see how Mitch McConnell and his merry band of robbers are planning to reduce the huge deficit they’ve created by the recent tax cut.

They are proposing a plan to cut these important safety nets that many of us rely on, that they call entitlements.

These programs are not entitlements since our money paid into them and the government has no right to touch them.

This shell game needs to stop.

Think very hard about who you will vote for in the midterms if you rely on any of these programs.
