GOP Blocks Sanders’ Social Security Boost
Senator Bernie Sanders’ attempt to pass the Social Security Expansion Act, which would increase benefits by $2,400 annually, was blocked by Senator Mike Crapo. The Act, supported by numerous advocacy groups, would fund itself by extending payroll taxes to incomes above $250,000. This action comes amidst concerns over the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s efforts to drastically reduce the Social Security Administration’s workforce. Critics argue these actions represent an attack on Social Security and threaten the financial security of retirees.
