Democrats and Republicans:
An Unfair Comparison
Social Security and Retirement
Democrats are committed to making it easier for Americans to save for retirement on their own. Nearly half the workforce — about 75 million people — currently do not have employer-supported retirement plans. Democrats want to make it easier for all Americans to participate in retirement accounts at work and support a system where employees have pension portability, so workers don’t lose their pension if they change jobs.
Democrats believe that all Americans have the right to a secure and healthy retirement, and we will continue fighting to preserve both Medicare and Social Security for future generations.
Education
Democrats believe all children should be able to lead happy, successful lives. That’s why we’re dedicated to ensuring the next generation has access to a quality education and the tools to drive our economy forward. Our country is strongest when our workers are trained with the knowledge and ingenuity to perform at the highest levels. Every child should have the opportunity to reach that horizon and to fulfill the American Dream.
Healthcare
Democrats believe that quality, affordable health care is a right – not a privilege – for every American. That is why House Democrats worked tirelessly with President Obama to enact the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – a landmark achievement that now stands alongside Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as a pillar of health and financial security. This law has been life-changing and life-saving, especially for the 130 million Americans who can no longer be denied coverage simply for having a pre-existing condition.
National Security
Democrats are focused on preventing terrorism across the globe. This means continuing to invest heavily in intelligence and information sharing and promoting those networks among our allies. We have strengthened our ability to keep nuclear and biological weapons out of the hands of terrorists, promoted efforts to better ensure border security, and augmented defense of our national infrastructure.
Competent Government
The current Republican House of Representatives has repeatedly demonstrated their inability to conduct the basic functions of government. Is competent and honest government important to you?
Our Economy
Democrats believe that our economy should strengthen our country and work for every American, not just those at the top. We are committed to helping all Americans meet the challenges of the 21st century by spurring job creation, rebuilding our infrastructure, investing in clean-energy technologies and small businesses, and making sure corporations, the wealthy, and Wall Street pay their fair share.
