BOYLE: "88 years later, Republicans are still trying to rip away Americans' hard-earned Social Security benefits."

Statement

"88 years ago, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law and made a sacred promise to American workers that they have the right to retire with dignity. And 88 years later, Republicans are still trying to rip away Americans' hard-earned Social Security benefits. They might hope the American people don't notice, but their shameless admissions and their detailed plans to gut Social Security benefits make their true intentions perfectly clear.

Democrats will not allow that to happen. We've introduced legislation, like my Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act, that will ensure Social Security's solvency indefinitely by finally making the wealthy contribute their fair share. While Republicans continue their crusade against Social Security, House Democrats are committed to strengthening Americans' retirement security and keeping this sacred promise for generations to come."
