For nearly a century, America has made a sacred promise: People who work hard throughout their lives will benefit from the fruits of their labor. Last week, Congress passed and President Biden signed into law a bipartisan budget agreement. It protects Social Security from harmful Republican-proposed cuts. That earned benefit brings peace of mind for millions of families, senior citizens, disabled persons, and children who survive a parent's premature death. Social Security insurance is a compact of trust between generations and ensures the safe and secure retirement for tens of millions of Americans during their golden years. It is an earned benefit. Congress must continue to protect this pact for our citizenry. That is why our recently introduced Social Security 2100 Act is one of the most vital bills before this Congress. It will increase benefits to current and new beneficiaries, protect retirees against inflation, and repeal the windfall elimination provision. America made a promise to workers and guaranteed workers their earned benefits. Democrats are committed to making good on that promise for Social Security for generations to come. ____________________
