Winnetka, IL- At today’s candidate debate for the 10th Congressional District sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), Democratic candidate Dan Seals couldn’t explain to seniors why he supported the health care reform legislation which will cost $1 trillion over 10 years and gutted Medicare by $560 billion to pay for it.
“Seals not only supported the health care law but thinks it didn’t go far enough and has publicly supported a further expansion of government into health care,” said Dold campaign spokesperson Kelly Klopp. “Seals was silent today when asked how he supported a bill that was paid for on the backs of seniors who can least afford it.”
Seals claims to be a fiscal conservative, and yet supports the traditional tax-and-spend policies of the current Congress. He supported the $862 billion Federal Stimulus bill and the health care legislation that will cost $1 trillion.
“Seals claims support for a pay-as-you-go system, and yet hasn’t explained how he would pay for his laundry list of spending, including the $862 billion Federal Stimulus and the $1 trillion health care legislation,” said Klopp. “His “fiscal conservative” language doesn’t hold up to scrutiny since he has supported a litany of spending projects and tax hikes to pay for it.”
“Dan Seals's only solution to every issue is to raise taxes,” said Klopp.
