Social Security
Senator Markey believes Social Security is the promise we make to our seniors who have made our country so great, that after a lifetime of hard work, they can retire with dignity and security. He has fought to protect Social Security and has consistently advocated for necessary cost-of-living adjustments (COLA). He has also vocally opposed any attempt to privatize Social Security, as well as the proposal called “Chained CPI”, which would unfairly reduce income for seniors, for the disabled and for veterans.
