In the context of politics (a sub - field of Social Science), politicians (including those in Congress) are often influenced by voter behavior. Older Americans being a significant voting bloc and their tendency to vote for candidates who support Social Security is a political consideration. The moral argument is more of a philosophical (Arts - Philosophy) or ethical (Social Science - Ethics, which is under 'Others' in Social Science) stance but may not be as directly relevant to Congress's political self - interest. The statement about raising the retirement age is more of an economic (Business - Economics) or policy (Social Science - Public Administration) analysis but not the main political reason for Congress to support Social Security.
