Think the Social Security Trust Fund is like a savings account?
Think again.
When you worked, payroll taxes came out of every paycheck. Part went to today’s retirees, and the rest was supposed to be saved for your retirement.
But Washington had other plans. Instead of protecting the $2.85 trillion surplus, they spent it—leaving behind nothing but IOUs.
Now, in less than eight years, Social Security checks will be cut by at least 20%.
And unless Congress acts, that’s the future every retiree faces.
At The Seniors Center, we’re saying enough is enough. The Trust Fund should only be used to pay benefits—not to bankroll politicians’ pet projects.
Social Security is your money. It’s time to protect it.
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.
