House Democrats are not wasting their new majority.
On Wednesday, (FDR's 137th birthday) Democrats announced the Social Security 2100 Act, which prolongs the program's solvency for the next 75 years, as well as expanding the benefits for Americans contributing to it.
Rep. John Larson, who is Chair of the Social Security Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, made the announcement on Facebook this morning.
What's remarkable is that the bill already has 203 co-sponsors. it's shocking that nothing has been done to ensure Social Security's solvency in Congress since 1983.
Republicans in Congress have become the anti-tax, anti-science, pro-privatization free market a-holes who only increase spending and federal deficits to appease their very wealthy corporate donors with moronic tax cuts, it's about time a bill was passed that actually helps Main Street America.
Daniel Marans has a nice write up about the bill:
