Alliance for Retired Americans - (10/14/2016)
Alliance for Retired Americans
From
RetiredAmericans.org: The Alliance for Retired Americans released its 2015 voting record report which scored every U.S. Representative and Senator on key issues affecting current and future retirees. The voting record examined 10 key Senate votes and 10 key House votes in 2015, showing the roll calls on issues such as:
-attacking our core retiree programs of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid;
-passing fast track trade authority, which extinguishes the ability to scrutinize and amend proposed trade agreements that would lock in higher drug prices; and
-addressing income inequality by raising the minimum wage
“Unfortunately, the new Congress that came to town did not help improve the nation’s retirement security,” said Robert Roach, Jr., President of the Alliance. “We had an opportunity for change but we didn’t take advantage of it. Nine of 12 freshman Republican Senators scored zero, and the others scored 10%. This Voting Record reflects how committed our elected representatives are to seniors. It will be a useful tool as we look at who is truly our friend.”
