Financial Security

Long-term financial security is a cornerstone of the American dream: if you work hard and follow the rules, you will be able to retire without financial worries. Yet this dream is being threatened by the demise of traditional retirement pension plans, an economic environment where people find it difficult to save and the looming issue of strengthening Social Security for future generations.

We believe that:

• Our children and grandchildren should have an adequate quality of life when they retire. Social Security must be strengthened without burdening future generations.
• Workers should be provided with financial incentives to save, should have access to effective retirement plans, and should be able to keep working and contributing to society regardless of age.
• Americans of all ages should have access to tools to help manage their finances, and save for the future and better, easy to understand information to help them increase their financial literacy and manage their money wisely.

While the American dream crumbles, our problems go unsolved. It is time our leaders do their jobs and tackle the people's issues.
