Every senior should have retirement savings. Planning for the future by putting money away is always a wise move. However, this same principle should apply to Social Security. It’s not a gift or a handout — it’s a benefit older Americans have earned through years of contributions.
Over time, policymakers have weakened the Social Security Trust Fund model and stopped setting aside funds solely for retirees. It’s not fair for policymakers to push retirees to save money in a tough economy, while also mismanaging their retirement funds.
Yes, we need to save for retirement. But policymakers must also save Social Security. The only way they can do this is by returning to the Trust Fund model. Strengthening Social Security in this way will protect future retirees and honor the commitments made to older Americans.
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!
