Most Americans believe the Social Security Trust Fund is a savings account for retirement.
Unfortunately, it isn’t.
Instead, it functions as a ledger of debt, with every dollar collected spent almost immediately—either on current retiree benefits or unrelated government programs.
Over decades, workers built up a $2.85 trillion surplus.
But instead of protecting it for the future, the government converted it into Treasury notes and spent the money elsewhere.
While these IOUs are backed by the U.S. Treasury, the reality is stark: Social Security is dangerously vulnerable to political games, economic downturns, and budget disputes.
Without action, benefits will be cut by at least 20% in less than eight years.
That means millions of seniors could face a devastating financial blow.
At The Seniors Center, we demand that Congress restore the Trust Fund and ensure it’s used only for retirees—not as a piggy bank for politicians. Social Security is a sacred contract, and it must be honored.
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.
