First of all, Senator Rand Paul,
#SocialSecurity
and

are not "entitlements." They are earned benefits. Secondly, they SHOULD be taken off the table for cuts. How about repealing the Trump/GOP tax cuts that swelled the debt by $2 trillion?
Sen. Whitehouse is right. The wealthy should pay their fair share in Social Security payroll taxes in order to protect seniors' benefits. Sign the petition so Congress boosts Social Security benefits now:

It's ridiculous that a billionaire pays the same amount in Social Security taxes as someone making up to $168K per year. It is time to scrap the cap, boost benefits, and ensure seniors still can retire with dignity. WATCH BERNIE HERE:::

Supporters of a closed-door "fiscal commission" designed to slash Social Security often compare it to the Greenspan Commission of the early 1980s.
Today, 5 formers staffers of that commission explained why that comparison is wrong — and why a new commission is a terrible idea.
