House Representative Larson and Senator Cassidy Named Legislators of the Year by topretirements.com
MY 10, 2023 — Key West, FL — Topretirements.com, the popular website focused on retirement, just named a Republican Senator and a Democratic Congressman as National Legislators of the Year for 2023. Senator Bill Cassidy (R.LA) and Representative John Larson (D. CT) were selected for the honor in recognition of their bi-partisan efforts to forge a solution for the impending Social Security crisis.
According to the Social Security 2023 Trustees Report, its reserves will become depleted by 2033, with continuing contributions sufficient to pay only 77 percent of scheduled benefits. As they do every year, the Trustees Report urged legislative action to avoid a funding shortfall that will hurt every working American.
Two legislators, one from each party, were named Legislators of the Year for their bipartisan work to save Social Security. Every month that goes by worsens the crisis in Social Security Trust Funds, which will be exhausted by 2033.
Representative Larson has developed the most specific bill seen so far to fix Social Security. Social Security 2100: A Sacred Trust, addresses 15 specific points to improve this popular benefit,
and includes a strategy for shoring up its finances.
Senator Cassidy is co-leader of a Senate group that is trying to protect Social Security. A joint statement made earlier this year by that group said that they are considering dozens of ideas to protect Social Security. Under what his Senate group is discussing, millions would immediately receive more, and no one would receive less.
John Brady, founder of Topretirements.com, commented on the winners. “We are very pleased to recognize Sen. Cassidy and Rep. Larson for their work on finding a bi-partisan solution to this issue. Every month that goes by makes it harder to fix the problem. We salute Sen. Cassidy and Rep. not only recognizing the problem, but for actually doing something to advance a solution.
