House Dems Unveil Bill To Fix, Expand Social Security
The Democratic-controlled House introduced the new Social Security 2100 Act today with unprecedented support.


House Democrats are not wasting their new majority.

On Wednesday, (FDR's 137th birthday) Democrats announced the Social Security 2100 Act, which prolongs the program's solvency for the next 75 years, as well as expanding the benefits for Americans contributing to it.

Rep. John Larson, who is Chair of the Social Security Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, made the announcement on Facebook this morning.

What's remarkable is that the bill already has 203 co-sponsors. it's shocking that nothing has been done to ensure Social Security's solvency in Congress since 1983.

The only reform I didn’t see that should be there is to cola adjust the cap on retiree income.
