Congressmen Amo, Larson To Urge Support For Social Security Reform

Later today, Connecticut Congressman John Larson will be with Congressman Gabe Amo at the East Providence Senior Center.

“Republicans are busy attacking Social Security. What is their plan for Social Security? It is to cut benefits now, so the ultra-wealthy don’t have to pay their fair share,” said Larson. “The Republican Study Committee, the largest caucus in the House Republican Conference, proposed $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including by raising the retirement age for working Americans – a 21% cut in benefits. And Republicans have been pushing a double-secret probation ‘fiscal commission’ to get those cuts done behind closed doors. This is all so they can deliver another round of tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations.”

The congressmen will support the Social Security 2100 Act that seeks to expand and protect social security.
