Social Security Stories

Democracy for America has been collecting people's stories about how Social Security affected their lives. This is a powerful testiment to the vital importance of Social Security as a guaranteed benefit. Here's the Social Security stories near Minneapolis.

One thing you see over and over in these stories is the how Social Security's survivorship benefits have helped many families who would've otherwise been faced with some very tough situations. This is what a safety net is all about. If (god forbid) something happens to you, it's not right that your family should suffer for something that's no fault of their own.

Predictably, how the survivorship benefits will be paid for under the new regime is not something the Republicans have talked much about. They seem to want to pretend these benefits simply don't exist.
