Since 1980 the Republican controlled houses of congress have intentionally not raised the Worker Soc Sec Retirement withholding amounts so as to not have to properly increase SS-Benefits to cover inflation! And it was not because the Republicans actually cared about the workers themselves as the Republicans were more focused on keeping the Low Wage industries' in the US matching Employer Soc Sec withholdings as low as possible.

An so wee have had an intentionally undefended SS-Retirement fund the last 40+ years of the Republican controlled congress, that mostly had the Republican Congressional Majority overlapping many Democrat Controlled executive office tenures! And so Social Security does not work By Republican Party Anti New Deal design, before and especially since 1980!

The Social Security 2100 act needs to get passed so that no low wage retiree gets a SS-Retirement check that's below 100% of the federal poverty level and that Republican Tax Cut for the most wealthy and Corporations in the US needs to be allowed to elapse to pay for that. And really the Corporate Tax Rates in the US needs to be returned to the same levels that they where when Eisenhower was POTUS and to fix the 40+ years of Republican Party intentional underestimating the proper SS-Withholding amount to properly fund Social Security!
