Durbin Calls On Congress To Act To Save Social Security

Published | Video Starts at 05:39

And I'm concerned that Congress will wait until the absolute last minute to try to do anything to save it. That would make it extremely difficult, make it irresponsible, conduct unacceptable. Earlier today, I released a bipartisan statement. Senators of both political parties issued a statement. Together. Senators Bill Cassidy, Tim Kaine, Thom Tillis and I are saying to Congress, don't wait, do something. We must find a way for Congress to debate this issue in a transparent, fair and bipartisan way. (05:39–05:47)
