Dear John,

It didn’t take long for former President Donald Trump to reveal his plans for Social Security if he wins a second term in office. When asked about how he would handle seniors’ programs, he replied, “there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting.”

For too long, many GOP politicians have blamed Social Security for soaring budget deficits and called for huge cuts and radical “reforms” to shrink the program. (For the record, Social Security doesn’t add a dime to the deficits since it is funded by workers’ payroll contributions!).

But the one solution that would actually strengthen benefits and improve Social Security’s solvency — without cutting seniors’ retirement security — never gets discussed by Republicans. The “Social Security 2100 Act” (H.R. 4583) would boost Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the Social Security Trust Funds while not increasing taxes for anyone earning under $400,000.

John, please sign the National Committee’s urgent Petition to Congress and urge your member of Congress to go on the record in support of the “Social Security 2100 Act” today!

This bill offers a resounding rebuke to the outrageous claims about Social Security, including that the only way to “save” the program is to cut seniors’ earned benefits

The Social Security 2100 Act will go a long way to increase monthly benefits, protect beneficiaries from the impact of high inflation and strengthen this vital program for years to come — and all without adding a dime to deficits. It would also require the wealthy to pay their fair share into Social Security which would help extend the program’s solvency and improve benefits.

Please help us build support for this commonsense legislation by signing the National Committee’s urgent Petition to Congress today!

I’m sure you agree, during this consequential election year, we need to change the conversation in Washington that remains fixated on scapegoating seniors and their earned benefits for our country’s debt crisis!

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
