REP LIEU HONORS 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF SOCIAL SECURITY
WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) joined House Democrats in honoring the 90th anniversary of Social Security. As the Trump Administration continues to gut the Social Security Administration (SSA), Congressman Lieu is advocating for seniors, disabled Americans, and families who have lost loved ones that depend on Social Security. Congressman Lieu released a video on social media to recognize this historic program's anniversary and discuss the importance of fighting back against President Trump's attack on Social Security.
"It is the 90th birthday of one of the most amazing programs the federal government has ever done, Social Security – and it is under threat," said Congressman Lieu. "The Trump Administration has made cuts to Social Security, especially with employees. They've closed down some of the field offices. People are getting very long wait times when they show up or when they call in. And so, we're fighting back and making sure that this Administration continues to preserve and protect Social Security."
Congressman Lieu is an original co-sponsor of Congressman John Larson's Social Security 2100 Act, which would strengthen and expand Social Security.
