Raising the Debt Ceiling

There is no doubt that America’s mounting public debt threatens our long-term strength and prosperity. But those who recklessly argue that the solution lies in a default on our financial obligations are dead wrong. If Congress fails to raise the debt limit, we will face another financial crisis and shake the world’s faith in the United States.

Seniors and Social Security

Congress must not grant huge tax cuts to the wealthy and tax subsidies to large corporations, and then try to balance the budget on the backs of our seniors.
