Instead of cutting benefits for the retirees who count on Social Security, we need to take bipartisan action to protect those benefits. That starts with a common-sense solution: lifting the Social Security payroll tax cap.

All the talk of Social Security “going bankrupt” or becoming “insolvent” is just plain wrong. This is just scare talk designed to convince people that big cuts to the program are necessary and inevitable. It’s simply not true.
