    Congressional inaction on the multiemployer pension crisis could cost as much as $103 billion in lost federal tax revenue and $138.3 billion in increased social safety net spending over the next decade.

    Retirees are not the only ones facing catastrophic consequences if Congress does not act on the multiemployer pension crisis. Active workers could lose their jobs.

    When we put money in the pockets of hardworking Americans, they spend that money in the local economy. That’s one reason I’m proud to support the Act. This bill is good for workers, good for businesses, and good for the economy.
