Social Security Under Sanders and Clinton
Both of these candidates are promising positive changes to Social Security in order to protect its solvency. They differ in their arguments when it comes to who is footing the bill under their respective plans. Clinton would finance this ambitious plan by raising taxes on only higher earners while Sanders would expand the tax raises to those also in the middle-class. This promises to be one of the defining arguments amongst the two in coming debates and may sway those on the fence to either side depending on which plan they agree with most. For more information on both plans, visit this article by Howard Gleckman with Forbes.
