Issue Position: Social Security

Issue Position

Too many politicians have been using scare tactics when it comes to Social Security. The problems in Social Security funding are serious, but they can be made fixable. Social Security is safe for at least the next 20 years and, if we act quickly, we can make modest changes that will keep the system solvent without cutting back on benefits. We need honesty and political will to move forward.

We must remember that Social Security is a promise made to our seniors and it would be a breach of trust - and just plain poor economic policy - to jeopardize this program with unnecessary cuts or risky privatization schemes.
