We need to fight for expanded benefits that keep pace with the rising cost of living.
John,
Social Security is the most important source of retirement income for the vast majority of Americans. For nearly half of Americans, it’s their only retirement savings.
While Republicans continue to push the Fiscal Commission Act to slash Social Security and Medicare, millions of seniors and people with disabilities face poverty.
With the average Social Security benefit totaling only $1,688 per month, we need to fight for expanded benefits that keep pace with the rising cost of living.
I’m a proud co-sponsor of the Social Security Expansion Act, which would increase benefits, strengthen cost-of-living adjustments, extend the solvency of Social Security for 75 years by requiring the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes, and make other improvements to this vital program.
