    NEWS RELEASE

    National Committee Releases New Web Video

    Raising the Retirement Age is All Trick - No Treat

    As Halloween approaches, we're reminded that Washington could have an especially frightening "treat" for Americans.  The President's Fiscal Commission and deficit-hawks in Congress have a terrifying new plan for America's workers requiring workers to stay on the job until 70 years old before qualifying for full Social Security benefits. A vote on this proposal, and others designed to cut benefits, could come up for a vote in Congress before the end of the year.

    The National Committee takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the issue in "All Trick - No Treat" on our YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/nationalcommittee .
