Social Security's not the hard one to solve. Medicare, that is the gorilla in the room, and you've got to put all of it on the table.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm gonna keep Social Security without change, except I'm going to get rid of the waste, fraud, and abuse; same thing with Medicare.
If you can't even acknowledge that you have to fix Social Security, that's not a very good starting point.
What I would ask the Democrat Party is to put your plan on the table, because most people agree with the facts, and the facts are that Social Security is running out of money.
The money that goes into Social Security is not the government's money. it's your money. You paid for it.
I don't understand the Democrats' approach to Social Security in this country, and I'm not alone.
Social Security is a promise that we cannot and must not break.
The effort to try to present the Social Security program as if it's a major problem, that's just a hidden way of trying to undermine and destroy it.
No matter how you cut it, this real debate on personal accounts is about the legitimacy of Social Security; it's not about the solvency of Social Security.
Social Security and Medicare are necessary safety nets, but they are nearing insolvency as fewer pay in, more take out, and more take out more.
Social Security is an extremely complicated program.
