Social Security

““Americans kept their end of the deal. Their government must keep its promise to protect Social Security.”

~ Kevin McClellan

The Problem

Social Security was built on a promise:

If you work, you earn security in retirement. That promise is being broken — not because workers failed, but because Washington mismanaged it. Today, working Americans are told:

• pay more

• get less

• retire later

• accept uncertainty

That’s unacceptable.

Social Security doesn’t need to be cut. It needs to be protected, strengthened, and honestly funded. We do that by expanding the number of contributors — not shrinking benefits. Legal, working contributors strengthen Social Security now and for the future. A larger, lawful workforce means more payroll contributions and a stronger trust fund.

We also stop bleeding American wealth overseas. End wasteful foreign commitments that weaken domestic security and drain resources that should protect American retirees. Those savings should be reinvested here, into U.S. trust funds — where they belong. As technology and automation replace workers, they must also help fund retirement. If machines take jobs, they don’t get a free ride while workers get left behind.

Social Security funds must be locked away

separate from general government spending,

fully audited,

and completely transparent.

No raids.

No games.

No broken promises.

If you paid in, you get what you were promised.
