Members of The Greatest Generation Should Get What They Earned
The contributions of the greatest generation cannot be understated. Many of these brave individuals fought on global battlefields to bring America through the trials of World War II and the Korean War. At the same time, homefront heroes kept the country going. The greatest generation is truly a generation of heroes. Knowing this, it is disheartening to see that many of these older Americans are now seemingly forgotten by the country they served.
Sadly, far too many seniors today struggle to make ends meet because of low Social Security retirement benefits. These Americans should be able to rely on the system they spent a lifetime paying into, to provide them with sufficient financial support in their later years. Unfortunately, this is oftentimes not the case for our seniors.
This is not a new problem, but it is becoming increasingly important to find a solution for those who are struggling. Congress must take action and implement reforms that will ensure our seniors have enough resources to live comfortably during their golden years. By increasing Social Security benefits and adjusting them for inflation, we can provide a more secure future for our nation’s retirees.
Of course, this annual Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) is supposed to address this issue. Unfortunately, however, COLA does not go far enough. We believe that a bill we call The Greatest Generation Benefits Act is the best move for seniors. If passed, this legislation would provide a significant and immediate increase in benefits with a guaranteed boost every year after.
Let us not forget the sacrifices made by the greatest generation. It is our duty as a nation to honor their service by ensuring that they are taken care of in their later years. Together, we can work towards creating a fair and sustainable Social Security system that truly supports those who have dedicated their lives to our country’s well-being. Sign our petition and tell Congress the greatest generation deserves better.
