The new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is a major proponent of cutting Social Security benefits. As Chair of the Republican Study Committee in 2019 and 2021, he proposed a devastating $750 billion in cuts to the program alongside trillions of dollars in cuts to other social safety net programs. Sign the petition telling Mike Johnson and other Republicans that we will not stand for cuts to Social Security – not now, not ever. "Now that Johnson is speaker, he will do what the Republicans never stop doing—everything in their power to cut our Social Security and Medicare, by hook, crook, or commission," said Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works. "Seniors and people with disabilities are counting on the Biden administration, as well as Congressional Democrats, to stand united to protect our earned benefits," Lawson added.
