RetireSafe.org, a grassroots organization that advocates for nearly 400,000 American citizens, recently called on President Barack Obama and the United States Congress to make steps towards improving Social Security.
“With unfunded liabilities of up to $100 trillion and the Social Security Trust Fund scheduled to pay out more than it takes in by 2016,” said Michelle Plasari, the President of RetireSafe. “America’s seniors deserve to know that the Social Security benefits they rely on to make ends meet will still be there for them.”
Among the improvements RetireSafe wants to see are guaranteed benefits, fair cost of living adjustments and the repeal of double taxation. Addition, the grassroots organization wants the government to prohibit totalization and to abolish the earnings limit for early retirees.
