President's Plan to Strengthen Social Security

For 65 years, Social Security has provided retirement security for tens of millions of Americans. Four generations of Americans have relied on the Government to keep the promises it made to them during their working years. As demographics change and costs increase, the challenge we face is ensuring that the Social Security system is strengthened for tomorrow's retirees.

The President's Plan to Strengthen Retirement Security includes:

  • Expanding Ownership of Retirement Assets
  • Ensuring Freedom of Choice
  • Creating a Society of Stakeholders
  • Minimizing Risk through Diversification
  • Strengthening Women.s Retirement Security
  • Helping Future Generations to Achieve the American Dream
  • Spurring National Saving and Economic Growth
