WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate’s No. 2 Democrat said Wednesday that he’s preparing a plan to create a commission to study Social Security’s fiscal problems and send a proposed solution to Congress for guaranteed votes in both House and Senate.

Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin says he’s got bipartisan backing for the idea, which is patterned after President Barack Obama’s 2010 deficit commission.
