Social Security benefits | The Real Story

Описание: Congressman John Larson explains his plan to increase revenue and grow the Social Security program over a GOP-backed proposal to raise the age of eligibility and cut benefits.

Host Emma Wulfhorst checks in with U.S. Representative John Larson (D) on capitol hill about the claims and confusion surrounding changes to Social Security. With people living longer and a growing senior population nationwide, adjustments are inevitable and needed. While the largest Republican caucus in the U.S. House has put forward a plan to raise the full retirement age and cut benefits, Rep. Larson shares how he thinks that ‘scrapping the cap’ and having wealthy workers pay ‘their fair share’ will increase revenue enough to bolster benefits and even provide better, livable checks to constituents. His plan, which mirrors President Joe Biden’s suggestions, is called Social Security 2100. He also speaks to the current struggles working across the aisle and answers the tough question of how this compromise can come about in a time of extreme partisanship in Congress.
