Why would anyone cut 7,000 employees to save 0.06% of the budget from one of the most important agencies in the federal government? That’s the question Congressman Tom Swasey asked at town hall with former Social Security Commissioner Martin O'Malley. Over the past few days, O'Malley has warned that the 89-year streak of Social Security sending monthly benefits could come to an end.

That is why we are reprising this important episode of Add Passion and Stir featuring O’Malley who talks with Billy and Debbie Shore about how Social Security is lifting kids out of poverty, and what more it could be doing.

“Social Security is the difference between almost a million kids living above the poverty line or below it,” he says. During this conversation, O’Malley and Share Our Strength commit to a renewed partnership to help reach eligible children who are not currently enrolled in Social Security benefits.

O’Malley also debunks some common myths about the program. “The other big myth is that Social security is going bankrupt. Totally false. Social Security cannot go bankrupt because Social Security is a pay as you go program, which means that so long as Americans work, Social Security pays benefits.”

Listen and be inspired.
