  1. GREAT NEWS!! NOW LAW: my bill to honor Korean War with a Wall of Remembrance

  2. AWESOME NEWS! The House just passed my bipartisan amendment to get the Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir online

  3. Today is about understanding why these 2 respected groups have very different conclusions on just how much trouble Social Security is in

  4. Congress count on the experts, like CBO and the Trustees, to help us figure out how to best do that.

  5. Americans want, need, and deserve to be able to count on Social Security. And it’s up to Congress to make the changes so they can.

  6. We may not all agree on the best way to make Social Security solvent, but we NEED an ACCURATE picture of Social Security’s financial health

  7. While a plan may be solvent according to the Trustees, it might not even get close if you ask CBO.

  8. With CBO and the Trustees so far apart, it’s hard to know if a Social Security plan will actually make the program solvent...

  9. Last year their estimates of Social Security’s shortfall were over 60% apart. Now they are over 75% apart.

  10. …They also don’t agree on when Social Security’s Trust Funds will be exhausted…

  11. CBO & the Trustees don’t agree on whether Social Security’s finances got better or worse this year...

  12. …And those differences have a real impact.

  13. Today, CBO & Trustees look at the same historical data but use different approaches & make different assumptions about the future...

  14. Both CBO & Trustees have looked at Social Security’s finances for yrs. But Trustees & CBO differ on how much trouble Social Security is in

  15. When it comes to Social Security’s solvency, the Social Security Trustees’ estimates aren’t lining up w/ the Congressional Budget Office

  16. Future generations should be able to count on Social Security just like seniors & individuals w/ disabilities do today.

  17. …The longer we wait, the tougher it becomes to fix it. Congress must make the tough choices based on the best, most accurate info available

  18. We all know how important Social Security is to the millions of Americans who rely on it. But Social Security is in trouble…

  19. WATCH LIVE as I chair a subcommittee hearing on the future solvency of Social Security

  20. I urge all Members to vote yes & pass the Social Security Mail Act today! This should be signed into law w/o delay!
