PA 8th Congressional District Debate

Published | Video Starts at 27:41

It's absolutely clear as a bell. And if you send somebody like another Republican to Congress, that's going to create a majority and that would make it happen. Now, John Schran got caught dead to rights talking to the young Republicans of Luzern county about how his idea for shoring up Social Security is to use the chained CPI, cut the cost of living increases by 2.10 of 1%. I've been speaking out against that. I've been protesting against chained CPI since 2013. We don't want to do that to our seniors. Thank you, Congressman. (27:41–27:58)
