Americans used to be able to depend on their jobs to provide a stable retirement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Americans are not saving enough for retirement.
There are some who start their retirement long before they stop working.
Social Security is the only thing most Americans can count on to keep them out of poverty during retirement.
I'm not sure that too many Americans would choose the president to manage their retirement accounts.
Some government workers are dedicated and work hard, but most of them are just waiting to retire.
Well, today people have to be self-reliant if they want a secure retirement income.
The reality is that the workforce relative to the number of people retired has shrunk and today in America there are only 3.3 working Americans paying payroll taxes to support each individual currently retired and collecting Social Security taxes.
Indeed, I think most Americans now know that in 1935 when Social Security was created, there were some 42 Americans working for every American collecting retirement benefits.
Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.
Our government makes the simple promise of a secure retirement to every American who works for many years and contributes to our retirement benefit system.
