VIDEO: Senator Sanders Explains Why We Need Social Security Expansion

Senator Bernie Sanders is one of the key sponsors of the Social Security Expansion Act. In this video, he explains why it is critical that our lawmakers act now to help protect and expand Social Security.

Sen. Sanders emphasizes the sheer number of seniors struggling to get by, with many living below the poverty level, as well as the vast discrepancy between how much the average worker pays into Social Security compared to high wage earners. He also explains how his proposed legislation will ensure Social Security solvency for at least 75 years.
