Assessments
Craig made concrete legislative efforts to support Social Security, including introducing the You Earned It, You Keep It Act to eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits and seeking official actuarial analysis. However, the cited bill remained only introduced and referred to committees, with no evidence of House passage, Senate passage, enactment, or another implemented policy outcome that fulfilled the promise to protect Social Security. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is best classified as never with an effort badge.
