Social Security Turns 89 — Time for a Return to Form?

Last month, Social Security celebrated its 89th birthday. That’s closing in on a century of operation, meaning this program has been a mainstay in America for generations.

But like many programs and initiatives that have ran for decades upon decades, the program has lost its way in some sense. As we’ve discussed, Social Security was originally a Trust Fund.

Seniors of past generations reaped the benefits of this model. But today’s seniors are struggling to make ends meet. This is because policymakers have spent the money and abandoned the Trust Fund model. How about we advocate for a return to the original format before Social Security’s 90th birthday?

Help The Seniors Center Protect the Future of Social Security

The Seniors Center is committed to finding solutions to strengthen and protect the Social Security Trust Fund. Social Security is a contract between citizens and the government. Money deposited in the Trust Fund should only be used to pay benefits to eligible recipients.

The Seniors Center is demanding Congress finally put a stop to the careless borrowing and spending by greedy politicians that has put our Trust Fund and our secure retirement in jeopardy.

At The Seniors Center, our goal is to help seniors, and we’re doing that by protecting the future of Social Security. Retirees shouldn’t have to worry about losing their hard-earned benefits to taxes or the agendas of greedy politicians. If you agree, we invite you to sign our petition today! And follow The Seniors Center on Twitter and Facebook for more updates!
