MI SR0065

Calls on Congress to reject attempts to weaken, cut, or privatize Social Security and to enact policies benefiting current and future working Americans.

Notes that nearly 70 million Americans receive monthly Social Security benefits, including 8.2 million disabled workers, and the program prevents over 40 percent of seniors from falling below the federal poverty line.

Emphasizes that Social Security is the only guaranteed retirement income source for most Americans, with half of retirees depending on it for at least half their income and nearly one-quarter relying on it for 90 percent or more.

States that over 90 percent of Americans support preserving Social Security across political affiliations, and nearly three in four voters support expanding benefits.

Directs the Michigan Senate to transmit copies of this resolution to the President, Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
