Reform Commission USA Applauds Creation of Bipartisan Soc. The commission is made up of seven Republicans and seven Democrats and is tasked with developing a plan and issuing its report in the fall. He is asking how we can make Social Security a better deal for seniors and young people, and we join him in this effort. Our recent poll of senior Americans nationwide shows 82 percent of seniors believe personal retirement accounts are important for their children and grandchildren to have a better, more secure retirement. Seniors are the critical swing vote when it comes to Social Security reform.
Seniors can make or break the reform effort.
The real question, therefore, is whether this commission can do something previous commissions have failed to do. For the past decade, the United Seniors Association has been a leader in fighting for retirement and investment freedom and security for all Americans, particularly those 55 and over. We are supportive of the process the President has launched today. We know this process will be difficult. But we will be working very closely with this commission to create a 'Better Deal' for seniors and their children and grandchildren.
