Friends,
The Hill: “The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent the Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a proposal that ... could ultimately prevent as many as 500,000 Americans from receiving benefits.”
This disturbing report makes one thing abundantly clear: The future of Social Security depends on President-elect Joe Biden’s ability to bolster the program. He made boosting Social Security benefits, particularly for low-income households, a major part of his policy platform on the campaign trail -- but the chances of that happening are now dwindling.
Joe Biden’s plan, which would involve raising taxes on corporations and individuals earning $400,000+ a year, is largely contingent on a Democratic majority in both the House and the Senate. It’ll be incredibly difficult to pass if Mitch McConnell remains Senate Majority Leader come January.
If Social Security runs out, millions of Americans will suffer -- especially Americans of color, who disproportionately rely on the program and often have no other steady and secure income in retirement
With all the excitement surrounding Biden’s win, our attention has strayed from the real and pressing threat Mitch McConnell and an unfriendly Senate pose to the future of Social Security. We need to speak up and speak out NOW -- and we can’t do it without you. If you agree that we MUST keep Social Security strong, please, lend your voice to ours before it’s too late. Tell us now:
