Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits.

Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.
