Hunter Biden enters shock guilty plea in $1.4M tax evasion case, first son facing up to 17 years in prison Wisconsin Rep. Bryan Steil outlined his plans to support Social Security and Medicare in his first reelection campaign ad and during a town hall meeting Wednesday, even as Democrats remain unconvinced of his sincerity.
Steil said that in order to keep the programs running for future generations, it is essential to grow the economy, without raising taxes or increasing government spending.“Every person who’s making a better or a higher wage, even at the same tax rate, pays in more. So the more we grow the economy and expand the economy in the United States, the more and better we are positioned to make sure that we’re funding Social Security and Medicare going forward, without raising the tax rates,” Steil said.
“We need to think about some of the infrastructure investments that we need to make, and be really smart about it. It’s about making sure that our economy is growing. Not that we raise tax rates, but as people are making more money, they’re paying more into the pie. And as we do that, we have another mechanism of protecting Social Security and Medicare,” he said.
Steil says he kept his promise, “Social security and Medicare are promises that we have made to our seniors, promises we need to keep.”“Despite presenting himself as a fighter for everyday Wisconsinites, Bryan Steil has aligned himself with the dangerous Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda and proven that he is nothing more than another run-of-the-mill MAGA Republican hack,” the state Democratic Party Deputy Communications Director Haley McCoy said in a statement Thursday.
