Dean understands that we must work in a bipartisan fashion to ensure that the elements of a secure retirement are protected, including Social Security and Medicare. That is why he has supported Congressional action to create commissions
to provide recommendations for balanced action to make these federal programs solvent into the future, while also acknowledging the need to enhance benefits for retirees.

Protect Social Security from being privatized or reduced
Dean's Priority: Retirement Security: Dean will fight to protect Social Security from being cut, privatized, or reduced for Minnesota seniors. He'll also work to ensure that Social Security benefits keep up with the rising costs faced by our
parents, grandparents, and veterans. As a place to start, Dean is an advocate for a mechanism by which wealthier retirees may voluntarily redirect their benefits to lower-income retirees.
