Social Security and Medicare
In short
Hines opposes benefit cuts and would lift the Social Security taxable-wage cap. Bouchard pledges to protect both programs and reduce waste and fraud. No position was found on Saliba’s checked pages or in Nkromo’s questionnaire. Kirby’s own position was not found; her party’s pension proposals are not treated as her personal pledge.
