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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Social Security is the very foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans.
Americans used to be able to depend on their jobs to provide a stable retirement.
Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.
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.
Our country also hungers for leadership to ensure the long-term survival of our Social Security system. With 70 million baby boomers in this country on the verge of retirement, we need to take action to shore up the system.
Social Security is the only thing most Americans can count on to keep them out of poverty during retirement.
There's a lot we can do to improve American's retirement security, but it's wrong to replace the guaranteed benefit that Americans have earned with a guaranteed benefit cut of forty percent or more.
All Americans have a sacred duty to guarantee Social Security benefits to our nation's senior citizens.
The President and I agree that Social Security needs to be preserved so that we can ensure that all Americans receive the retirement benefits they've been promised. But we disagree as to how best to fix the system.
Our government works should be treated fairly and appropriately; they should have a decent retirement, but not a gold-plated system where they can retire multimillionaires in their 50s.
