Protecting Social Security

Social Security is a vital lifeline for many seniors in our country, but Congress has unfortunately been kicking the can down the road for years even though funding is running out for younger generations who have paid into Social Security all their lives. At this rate, Social Security benefits will have to be cut in less than a decade, so when Democrats retake power we must finally pass legislation that addresses the funding of Social Security.\n\nBernie Sanders & Elizabeth Warren have put forth the Social Security Expansion Act which would fully fund Social Security for the next 70 years and raise average monthly benefits for seniors to \$2,400. It does this by simply requiring the wealthy to pay the same percent of their income into Social Security as the rest of us.  I will strongly support this legislation once in office. We must pass it into law without further delay.
