Many people say this is the most important election in 90 years. This is especially true for seniors. The problem is, most seniors have no idea what President Donald Trump has in store for them in his proposed 2021 budget.

Now that Trump has started paying out over $1 trillion in tax giveaways for corporate cronies and wealthy contributors, he plans to make seniors pay for it. In his 2021 budget, Trump plans to slash $756 billion out of the earned benefits seniors have accrued over a lifetime of building this great nation.

While Trump is in the courts trying to erase the last vestiges of Obamacare, he has broken his promise of offering the best health care plan ever. He is returning Americans to enduring the fear of being denied coverage over preexisting conditions, medical bankruptcies and death for those turned down as insurance ineligible for any care.

Trump also has plans to cut Social Security and severely eviscerate Medicaid, which seniors turn to when a retirees money runs out.

Joe Biden, on the other hand, would peel back those corporate tax breaks and increase Social Security annual payments by $6,500, taking 500,000 seniors out of poverty by 2030. Biden, like any good Democrat, will never cut the senior safety net, because thats not what Democrats do.

As a senior myself, who has started and run many businesses honestly, paying all my taxes, I find it inconceivable that I must face old age in fear of living in poverty.
