Certainly Social Security needs to be reformed.

You can be sure that I will always consider how changes to Social Security will impact people with disabilities when considering the various proposals offered for reform.

Social Security must be preserved and strengthened. But we need to be candid about the costs and willing to make the tough choices that real reform will require.

Not only is privatizing Social Security not the solution to Social Security, it would exacerbate the problem.

Despite the state of denial exhibited by most Democrats, Americans all across the nation acknowledge that changes are necessary to preserve Social Security for today's younger workers.

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.

There is a lot of room for improvement in Social Security. We owe our children the most financially sound system possible. They will have paid into it their entire working lives. They deserve to be protected by it. for our children and grandchildren.

I think we'll build a consensus for action on Social Security reform which will reduce that long-term unfunded obligation and put the system on a sustainable basis.

We can preserve Social Security benefits for generations of Americans without privatizing this important program.
