As we commemorate the 80th anniversary of Social Security, it is as important as ever recognize the impact of this pillar of the American safety net: two out of three retirees count on Social Security for a majority of their income, the programs benefits lift one million children out of poverty each year, and it supports more than nine million of our veterans. Even as we celebrate the success of Social Security, some in Congress still insist we must slash its benefits for millions of Americans who need it. I am fighting against these unnecessary and irresponsible policies, and am proud to support legislation that would expand Social Security, increase benefits and better protect beneficiaries from rising inflation. I am also working to implement policies that would help Social Security remain solvent for future generations, and I will continue my efforts to ensure that Americans who have paid into the program receive the benefits we have promised them.	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
