Yesterday, Ted Cruz chose Carly Fiorina as his running mate. For today’s Throwback Thursday, we revisit a Carly Fiorina quote.
Are you okay with voting for a
Candidate, whose VP who won’t tell you their position on an issue until
after the election?

We have updated our GOP Presidential Candidate card since Carly Fiorina has entered the race again.
We have a right to know candidates’ plans for programs that touch the
lives of virtually every American family…BEFORE we cast our vote. Do
you agree?
There is a lot at stake in the 2016 election because the differences between candidates’ plans for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are stark.
Get your sticker here.
While this has a clear meaning to policy wonks, it is likely that most viewers won’t immediately know that “entitlements” means the Social Security and Medicare their parents receive. It’s a lot easier for politicians to talk about cutting wasteful “entitlements” than taking away seniors’ Social Security and Medicare.

Will America’s Seniors Vote Against Their Own Self-Interests…Again?

Raising the Retirement Age IS a benefit cut.
Perhaps one of the reasons we aren’t hearing more about retirement security from the Republicans is because they know this is an important issue to voters, and voters would be quite disturbed by their track records. In fact, in their careers in business and as elected officials, many of the candidates have weakened—not strengthened—voters’ chances of having a secure retirement.

You don’t have to be much of a political sooth-sayer to predict that, given the GOP rush to attack what the party calls “entitlements” (and what everyone else knows are actually earned benefits), tonight’s debate will likely touch on the GOP Presidential candidates’ plans for Social Security and Medicare.

A key question that’s often left out of #retirement planning: Will seniors have enough income to afford the local cost of living?
