What it doesSummary introduced in senate (Aug 5, 2015)
Expresses the sense of the Senate that:
- Social Security earned benefits that are crucial to the economic security of our nation and must be preserved to ensure future generations of Americans are protected;
- with the strong support of the federal government, Social Security must continue to deliver guaranteed retirement and life insurance benefits for workers and their families, as well as serve as an indispensable safety net for the most vulnerable segments of American society; and
- while the trust funds that support Social Security are projected to pay all benefits through 2034, Congress should act to ensure this vital program can support workers and families far into the future, but should reject proposals that weaken or privatize Social Security and should consider proposals to strengthen Social Security benefits.
