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 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.

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

Social Security is not just another government spending program. It is a promise from generation to generation.

I think we need to make sure that we are putting Social Security on a sustainable path. It's absolutely something that the federal government is going to be involved in, in the future.

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

Social Security is a tax.

While Social Security faces some long-term challenges, the system is not in crisis.
