Working to Protect Social Security for Generations to Come

Congressman Young understands how vital Social Security benefits are to the people of Pinellas County. He has continually opposed efforts to weaken the safety net, such as replacing the program with private Social Security savings accounts, which jeopardize the benefits that countless retirees have come to rely on since the Social Security Act was first signed into law by President Roosevelt in 1935. As we mark the 75th Anniversary of the Social Security program this year, please see Congressman Young's remarks (below) on the House floor commemorating this milestone and expressing the importance of keeping this safety net for America's seniors financially sound for years to come.
