Conner Eldridge on Social Security

Protect seniors from privatization and Wall Street gambling

• Protect Social Security and Medicare from privatization so that seniors' hard-earned benefits aren't gambled on Wall Street.
• Ensure Social Security funds are only used for Social Security and not to pay for other cash-strapped government programs.
• Oppose any and all efforts to raise the retirement age or cut benefits for current beneficiaries.
• Recalculate the formula that determines cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) for Social Security recipients because as inflation and prices go up, so should their COLA.
