Before Social Security and Medicare the single biggest cause of poverty in this country was getting old. We saw this problem, came together as a country and created two of the most successful public programs of all time.
We have made a commitment to the generations before us to protect them and care for them as they cared for us. Most Republicans in Washington want to gamble with our seniors' wellbeing by privatizing Social Security and cutting Medicare, I'm running for Congress to ensure that doesn't happen.
