Why We're Here:
American wage-earners and their employers continue to pay more into the system than is required to sustain current benefits, creating a surplus that Congress spends — without regard for a method or means to repay it. In ten years or less, the demographic evolution of the American population will exhaust the surplus. Then what?

The vision of the Social Security Foundation is to fix Social Security for our children, grandchildren and future generations so that the economic viability of the nation they inherit is assured and working people will enjoy greater prosperity in the future.

Here's what we plan to do:
The Social Security Foundation is a single purpose, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that focuses exclusively on Social Security issues, policies, research, education and reform. We will serve as the "Big Tent" or principal organization/coalition to address the crises of Social Security — and nothing else!

The only way to repair the system is with personal accounts that hold real assets such as bank accounts or stocks or bonds.

Here's what could happen:

• Working people would enjoy an historic breakthrough in prosperity.
• Families would be strengthened through the accumulation of personal assets that they own directly and individually through the Social Security system.

Did you know?

• Social Security is no longer a good deal for workers. Projections for young workers forecast "0" percent return, and the system falls 30 percent short of being able to pay that without major tax increases.
• The chief actuary of Social Security projects that personal accounts will achieve full solvency for the Social Security system, eliminating all long-term deficits.
• With personal accounts, families would be strengthened through the accumulation of personal assets that they own directly and individually within the Social Security system.

Elected officials must fix Social Security without cutting benefits or raising payroll taxes or retirement age.

Why... are our senators and representatives double dipping with both personal retirement accounts AND Social Security?

Why... have members of Congress established their own personal retirement accounts, but are against them for us?

Why... do our senators and representatiaves have a better deal than the people who elected them?

Why... why have they taken our hard earned money from the Social Security Trust Fund and used it to pay for pet projects, leaving us, our children and grandchildren with a bankrupt Social Security system?
