SOCIAL SECURITY

SOCIAL SECURITY I am amazed at the number of Republicans who do not see the importance and benefits of Social Security. This program has provided an income and paece of mind to hundreds of Americans over the last ninety years of its existence. Small amounts of each worker's pay check would be deducted over their working lifetime and that would provide an income upon retirement. FDR's idea in the 1930's has been extremely successful. Bbut some people, including many in the Trump Administration, are part of a movement that could very well destroy this essential program. Social Security should be strengthened and changes might be justified. People on Social Security might not get cost of living increases for a year or two. The age for full benefits might be increased a month or two. Means testing might be used to see if billianares really need to receive benefits. Small increases to people working now can also help to make sure this program will exist well into the future. And finally, taxes on Social Security could be put back into the Social Security fund. I believe Social Security is an amazing program and it is in danger for many reasons. Acting now can help to make people aware and learn about the dangers this program faces. It can be saved if enough people step up to save it.
