In this episode we dive into one of the most pressing issues facing Americans today: cuts to Social Security. For millions of seniors, people with disabilities, and working families, Social Security isn’t just a line item in the federal budget—it’s a lifeline. As debates heat up in Washington over the future of this critical program we need to hear from voices in our community – that's why I am interviewing Betty Cobb, a Harrisburg resident who is 73 years old and relies on social security.
