Biden & Sanders clash on Social Security

Social Security hasn’t been part of the stump speeches of the Democrat candidates very often this season, but Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden have come to heads about comments Biden apparently made in the past.  Biden’s team accuses Sanders of doctoring a video and taking selective comments out of context.  Read the back and forth from both sides in this pierce by Marty Johnson in The Hill here.

The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) believes Social Security must be preserved and modernized.  This can be achieved by making modest changes in cost of living adjustments and the retirement age, with no additional taxes on workers.  AMAC advocates for a bipartisan compromise, “The Social Security Guarantee Act,” taking selected portions of bills introduced by former Rep. Johnson (R-TX) and current Rep. Larson (D-CT) and merging them with the Association’s own well researched ideas.  One component is Social Security PLUS, a new, voluntary plan that would allow all earners to have more income available at retirement.  This component is intended to appeal especially to younger workers.  AMAC is resolute in its mission that Social Security be preserved and modernized and has gotten the attention of lawmakers in DC, meeting with a great many congressional offices and their staffs over the past several years.  Read AMAC’s plan here.
