Rep. Becca Balint discusses social security cuts and consumer protection

Rep. Becca Balint, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Vermont's at-large district, shared her views on several issues through a series of tweets posted on December 9, 2024. The tweets address topics ranging from social security and Medicare to consumer protection and healthcare.

In a tweet dated December 9, 2024, Rep. Balint expressed criticism towards congressional Republicans: "Republicans in Congress see the American people struggling to afford everyday costs and immediately move to cut Social Security and Medicare so they can give billionaires tax relief."

Later that day, she commended the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for their work in addressing a credit repair scheme involving Lexington Law: "If you were harmed in a credit repair scheme by Lexington Law and https://t.co/kFOO0D3q2n, you will receive a check in the mail soon. $1.8 million is headed to victims in Vermont. Great work by the CFPB."

Additionally, Rep. Balint urged for the protection and strengthening of the Affordable Care Act while addressing House Republicans with a direct question: "Protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act. @HouseGOP, are you listening?"
