Kathy Hochul Willing to Take From Seniors’ Social Security Checks
Democrat Candidate Would Cut Social Security to Bankroll Nancy Pelosi’s Continued Spending Spree
Washington — Kathy Hochul admitted last week that she is in favor of cutting Social Security benefits and would be happy to take from Western New York seniors’ Social Security checks in order to continue bankrolling the Democrats’ big-government spending spree. In Congress, Hochul would be another ally to help protect the Democrats’ free-spending ways and endless borrowing from countries like China. If Kathy Hochul goes to Washington, Western New York seniors could very well see their monthly Social Security checks dwindle as a result.
“Western New York seniors cannot afford Hochul’s radical ideas of slashing Social Security benefits and raising job-destroying taxes just so she can help defend her Democrat allies’ spending spree,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “If Hochul had it her way, seniors would watch their social security checks dwindle as Kathy Hochul and Nancy Pelosi continue spending and borrowing from foreign countries like China in order to bankroll their wasteful government spending binge.”
This is the kind of check Western New York seniors would expect if Kathy Hochul had her way:
Kathy Hochul emphatically declared that cutting Medicare and Social Security would be “on the table” if she is in Congress:
Kathy Hochul embraced Pelosi’s policies and leadership in a recent television interview:
KATHY HOCHUL: “She’s done a great job for this country.” (MSNBC’s “Hardball,” 5/10/11)
Nancy Pelosi even hosted a Kathy Hochul fundraiser in New York City and donated money to Hochul’s campaign (FEC.gov):
“Results from the most recent Siena College poll of the district, meanwhile, show why some of Washington’s top Democrats might hurt Hochul’s chances. President Obama garnered a 39 percent favorable rating in the Siena survey, while Pelosi registers at only 25 percent.” (Robert J. McCarthy, “GOP leaders rally to Corwin, but where are the Democrats?” Buffalo News, 5/7/11)
Nancy Pelosi declared yesterday on national television that Democrats are willing to cut Social Security and Medicare:
“REP. PELOSI: Yes. I think Medicare is on the table. I think social security is probably on its own table” (Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi, CNBC, 05/16/11)
Kathy Hochul’s support for Nancy Pelosi and her failed policies appears to be so strong she is willing to cut into Western New York seniors’ Social Security checks in order to continue bankrolling their wasteful spending spree. Clearly, a vote for Hochul is a vote to bring back the wasteful government spending and borrowing Pelosi and her Democrat allies are working hard to defend.
