Tonight we’re voting to prevent an automatic $36 billion cut to Medicare, plus a potential default that would wipe out six million jobs and $15 trillion in the retirement funds and other household wealth of American families.
Our tax dollars are precious, and we need to be responsible with our spending, not punish Florida seniors for Congress’ inability to come to reasonable solutions.
I believe in balanced budgets, and when I was Orlando’s Chief of Police we did more with less, working during the great recession to ensure that our dollars went directly to public safety initiatives.
Today’s vote will protect Florida seniors’ access to the physician of their choice and the medical services they need, continue vital farm support, and preserve American families’ savings and livelihoods. I voted yes because I will always put our communities first.
