Kathleen Rice on Social Security

No privatization; no benefit cuts; better COLA

• Oppose Privatization-- Kathleen will fight back against all efforts to privatize Social Security and dismantle the most effective, financially healthy social insurance program we have in this country.
• Oppose Benefit Cuts--Recent proposals would slash benefits paid to all workers, which would be especially devastating to many women and people of color trapped in low-wage industries. Kathleen will fight back against wealthy special interest groups seeking to balance the budget on the backs of seniors, disabled workers, and low-wage earners.
• Improve Cost-of-Living Adjustments--Kathleen will work to correct cost-of-living adjustments to account for rising healthcare costs so that all seniors can live with dignity and access to high-quality medical care.
