We, as Democrats, believe that Social Security has been a strength for this country to be able to say to people as they age that you will not die in poverty, and it has worked.
It is stunning that House Republicans have the audacity to hold this hearing under the pretense that they care about poverty in our nation.
Republicans and Democrats must seek common ground on a sensible budget to avoid harming families, seniors, small businesses and our economy as a whole.
We have made a commitment, Social Security to seniors and to their families, and we ought to start with the premise of absolutely sustaining it and making sure it's there for our current seniors and our future seniors.
