AARP to Congress: 'We Strongly Object to Fast Tracking Social Security Changes' A recent proposal from a bipartisan group of senators, known as the PROMISE Act, aims to expedite reform of the Social Security system.
This effort may seem like a well intentioned attempt to address the program's looming financial issues, but critics argue that haste is precisely what undermines its chances of success.
At the heart of the proposal lies an independent advisory board tasked with submitting a base bill to Congress, which would then be fast tracked through both chambers.
