John,
Why are no Republicans signed on to the Social Security 2100 Act, the Social Security expansion bill that’s moving through the House?
New polling reveals that a majority of Republican voters support increasing Social Security’s modest benefits1, yet Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and their colleagues in Congress have proposed only benefit cuts.
The Social Security 2100 Act will not only increase benefits across the board, it will ensure Social Security is fully financed for the rest of this century. And that terrifies Republicans in Washington.
Chip in to educate Republican voters on where their Senators and Representatives stand on Social Security!
By law, Social Security can’t add a penny to the federal deficit. If no action is taken by 2035, that’s going to mean across the board benefit cuts, automatically, as Social Security’s trust fund is exhausted. While Social Security will not be broke, it also won’t keep its promise of paying 100% of benefits in full and on time.
That means, if you want to cut Social Security benefits, the best thing to do is nothing. That’s why Republicans are so scared of the Social Security 2100 Act.
Democrats have spent the past decade proactively seeking solutions to the retirement security crisis, while Republicans have sought to cut the Social Security Administration to the bone and make it harder for people to access their benefits.
We’re going to expose these Republicans to their constituents. Chip in $7 today!
Thank you,
Michael Phelan
