Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Americans are not saving enough for retirement.
Social Security is the only thing most Americans can count on to keep them out of poverty during retirement.
If we didn't have Social Security, our seniors would live mostly in poverty. You'd have another 18 million people in poverty.
Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.

People do not retire. They are retired by others.
First, women are more likely to live in poverty during their retirement years than are men.
Saving enough to retire has become impossible for most Americans.
As the baby boomers like me are retiring and getting ready to retire, they will spend whatever it takes - and they're the wealthiest generation in our country - to make themselves live an enjoyable life in their retirement years.
