George Will Zitate

The 1935 Social Security Act established 65 as the age of eligibility for payouts. But welfare state politics quickly becomes a bidding war, enriching the menu of benefits, so in 1956 Congress entitled women to collect benefits at 62, extending the entitlement to men in 1961.

Im Sozialversicherungsgesetz von 1935 wurde 65 als Auszahlungsalter festgelegt. Die Politik des Wohlfahrtsstaates wird jedoch schnell zu einem Ausschreibungskrieg, der das Angebot an Sozialleistungen bereichert, und 1956 ermächtigte der Kongreß die Frauen, Leistungen im Alter von 62 Jahren zu sammeln, wodurch der Anspruch 1961 auf Männer ausgeweitet wurde.

Claiming that Social Security benefits are safe may sound naive, but my view is actually quite cynical. I believe that as long as the elderly continue to vote in large numbers, no Congress will renege on promised payouts for those already eligible to receive benefits.

Social Security has never failed to pay promised benefits, and Democrats will fight to make sure that Republicans do not turn a guaranteed benefit into a guaranteed gamble.

Our constituents paid into Social Security, and they want it paid back to them when they retire. Cutting Social Security benefits that Americans have earned should always be a last resort.

Today there are about 40 million retirees receiving benefits; by the time all the baby boomers have retired, there will be more than 72 million retirees drawing Social Security benefits.

The president and Republicans in Congress have repeatedly promised to revisit Social Security privatization after November. But Americans have already said, loud and clear, that they don't want Social Security to be privatized or dismantled.
