This past year the nation continued to see unprecedented economic and fiscal challenges the likes of which had not been seen in decades. Retirees faced these hardships as well. While the economy began a slow recovery, unemployment remained high. We also celebrated the 75th anniversary of Social Security and 45th anniversary of Medicare, vivid reminders that even during times of economic hardship these two vital programs have remained strong, delivering the guaranteed benefits for which retirees worked hard.

Voters responded and the result was increased majorities in Congress and a major change in the White House.
