Kirkpatrick Fails Seniors Dependent Upon Social Security

Press Release

At a time of high unemployment and economic instability, seniors are once again left behind by their Members of Congress.

"The reckless policies of Nancy Pelosi and Ann Kirkpatrick are failing our seniors," said Dr. Paul Gosar. "Ann Kirkpatrick has been a willing participant in the Democrat's spending sprees that have destroyed our nation's economy and left our seniors behind. All of their lives our seniors have worked hard and paid into social security so that it would be there when they retire; unfortunately, Kirkpatrick and her friends in Washington have gone home to campaign and left our seniors to fend for themselves."

Dr. Paul Gosar has a plan to protect the social security benefits that American taxpayers have paid for. First, Congress needs to return the money they robbed from the social security fund and put it in a lockbox so that never again can Washington bureaucrats steal money promised to everyone who has paid into the fund. Next, the Social Security Administration needs to cut down on the bureaucratic waste that cuts into the benefits taxpayers receive when they retire. And finally, he wants to empower small businesses and get America back to work so that people can continue to build their nest eggs.

As a Member of Congress, Ann Kirkpatrick has not called on her colleagues to restore the money they took from the social security fund. Furthermore, she voted for the $2.5 trillion healthcare reform bill which cuts Medicare for our seniors by over $500 billion. Finally, she supported the failed $787 billion stimulus bill, $3.4 trillion budget, and requested nearly $100 million in earmarks which have bankrupted the nation and deepened this recession.
