OWL’s Statement on the Deficit Report
OWL is disappointed that the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform included Social Security in its agenda. Social Security is not a part
of the deficit facing our nation today. Some modifications to Social Security will strengthen this important retirement income program over the long term for millions of working Americans and their dependents, but any changes to Social Security should come as part of a separate effort to ensure its solvency and improve its benefits.
