National Seniors Council Chairman Council Nedd today condemned the Obama Administration’s plan to issue one-time payments of $250 to seniors citizens as a “not so cheap trick aimed at conning Americans into overlooking the administration’s anti-senior citizen policies.”
“America’s senior citizens are outraged at the administration’s reckless and irresponsible spending policies, its attempt to gut Medicare as part of its health care reform proposals, and its continued refusal to protect the Social Security Trust Fund from Congressional spending sprees,” says Nedd. “This one time payment is clearly a cynical attempt to trick the elderly. While the President is proposing to hand out $250 bribes with one hand, he is picking the pockets of senior citizens by looting Social Security to pay for more and more government spending and slashing Medicare to pay for his government takeover of the health care industry. The National Seniors Council vigorously opposes this scam.”
The National Seniors Council is a national grassroots senior citizen organization committed to protecting the government benefits earned by America’s seniors through responsible market oriented reforms.
