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.

What's lost in this whole debate, unfortunately, is that Social Security is not a giveaway where we take money to give to other people. It's a contract with the government... that's worked for 75 years. It's the most successful government program that we've ever had.

Social Security is a program that should be strengthened and preserved for future generations.

The money that goes into Social Security is not the government's money. it's your money. You paid for it.

Social Security is the very foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans.

Social Security is not just the foundation of America's retirement dignity and security, it ensures the economic stability and strength of our families and our state's economy.

The reason to deal with Social Security is that it is a system where we have a tradition and history of making sure it is solidly funded for 75 years. At the moment, we look out and we see it is solidly funded until 2037.

Social Security is a tax.

But there is a need to explore ways we can preserve the promise of Social Security for future generations.

Social Security is one of the greatest achievements of the American government, protecting our elderly against poverty and assuring young people of a more secure future.
