mark harris wants to diminish and dismantle vital programs like social security and medicare.
he has said that the government isn’t responsible for providing health care and that social security should be phased out.
Harris wants to eliminate Social Security and force Americans into a “system that resembles social security” but pays fewer benefits, even if they have been paying into Social Security for decades. Harris admits that older Americans “may very well be the big loser in Social Security” if he has his way.
Harris says that the government doesn’t “bear the responsibility for providing health care” and supports reopening the “doughnut hole” in Medicare’s prescription drug program.
harris has aligned himself with policymakers who want to privatize Social security, and he backs the gop tax law, even though it will add nearly $2 trillion to our debt and result in major entitlement cuts
Harris says he will join the Freedom Caucus, whose members have pushed for significant Medicare reforms, including cutting funding, raising the retirement age, and privatizing Medicare through a voucher system. And Harris wants caucus co-founder Jim Jordan to become Speaker of the House, where he’ll have the power to put his agenda into action.
Harris supports the GOP tax reform law that gives roughly a trillion dollars in tax breaks to corporations while adding nearly $2 trillion to the national debt. The reform bill may already force a $25 billion cut to Medicare, and Republicans are planning to pay for the tax cuts by slashing billions from Social Security and Medicare.
