Social Security

When FDR signed the Social Security Act 67 years ago, he made a promise -- a promise that every hard-working American should be able to retire with dignity. Today, the Social Security system provides 46 million retirees, spouses, survivors and children with that dignity and much-needed economic security.

I oppose privatizing Social Security and handing over Americans' retirement to be held hostage to the fluctuations of the stock market. I am working every day to keep the protections we need and to preserve the dignity, security, and hope that Social Security has brought to millions of Americans.
