Issue Position: Social Security Solvency

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Senior Citizens Entitlements and the Safety Net

As it stands today, Social Security will remain fully solvent at least through 2037. Those who argue that large Social Security cuts are necessary to balance the budget are mistaken. Social Security is a triumph of the American social safety net, providing life-sustaining income to over 53 million retirees, workers with disabilities, spouses and children. Congress must not balance the budget on the backs of our seniors.
