Whether you are a senior collecting Social Security and Medicare, a parent saving for your child's college education, or a young employee investing in a Roth IRA as you begin to save for retirement, your present and future are impacted by the decisions made by the House Ways and Means Committee. The committee, one of the most long-standing in United States history, is charged with the responsibility of raising the revenue for running the United States government; managing entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security, writing all tax related legislation, and handling unemployment compensation programs. The committee also has oversight of the Customs Service, the International Trade Commission, and the U.S. Trade Representative.
