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.
Under the current pay-as-you-go Social Security system, not one person is actually guaranteed benefits.
And because of these programs like Medicare, Medicare prescription drugs, Social Security, we now have the healthiest and wealthiest group of senior citizens that the world has ever seen. This is a continuing commitment to that.
Without Social Security, poverty rates for African American seniors would more than double.
The American people demand results, not rhetoric, especially when it comes to national security issues.
Social Security is a plan that actually was designed in a much different time, in a different era, and with a different set of American demographics in mind.
Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.
One poll shows that by 61 percent to 29 percent Americans under 40 say that Social Security needs to be fixed.
Americans need accurate information in order to consider Social Security reform. Too bad the media can't be counted upon to provide it.
