Eric,
Social Security’s board of trustees just released its annual report on the health of the trust fund. The report shows that Social Security’s surplus is $2.8 trillion and growing, and that less than one penny on every dollar is being spent on administrative costs.
Yet Wall Street billionaires and Republicans in Congress will distort today’s report and renew their calls to dismantle our Social Security system brick by brick. They think Social Security’s average annual benefit of just $14,375 is too generous.
Help us pre-empt the Wall Street attacks by donating to Social Security Works today.

Over Social Security’s 80 years, it has grown into the most successful social insurance program in our country’s history. Seniors, veterans, disabled workers, children and surviving spouses rely on its modest benefits every single day.
And thanks to you, we have changed the national discussion around Social Security away from cuts and toward expansion. In fact, expanding Social Security has become the established position of the Democratic Party.
Wall Street sees this and they are running scared. They know their window to privatize and steal our Social Security benefits is closing.
Help slam the door shut on Wall Street’s attempts to cut and privatize Social Security. Donate to Social Security Works today!
Together we can expand Social Security for millions of Americans and address the looming retirement income crisis and rising levels of income and wealth inequality.
Thank you,
Alex Lawson
