Democrats to McConnell: Protect our seniors and veterans, not millionaires
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Tuesday enlisted 18 Democratic senators in challenging Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to get behind a $13 billion relief package for seniors and disabled veterans, in order to "help them pay for their increased cost of living."
As Social Security payouts could fail to rise with inflation for only the second straight year since 1975, the 19 senators – which included Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) – wrote a letter imploring the chamber’s GOP chief to put senior citizens and veterans ahead of millionaires, as they put it.
