Description
🚨 **COULD A NEW CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION LEAD TO SOCIAL SECURITY CUTS?**
Congress is once again talking about the national debt, mandatory spending, and the future of programs millions of Americans depend on.
At a recent House Budget Committee hearing in Dallas, lawmakers discussed creating a fiscal commission that could make recommendations on major federal spending programs, including Social Security and Medicare.
In this video, former Social Security District Manager Dr. Ed breaks down what was actually said, how a fiscal commission could work, why some lawmakers support it, why critics are concerned, and what this could mean for your Social Security check.
We’ll also look at the bigger question: when Washington talks about “entitlement reform,” what does that really mean for retirees, people with disabilities, survivors, and families who depend on these benefits?
