Social Security and Medicare represent promises made and we must keep these commitments.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe keeping our promises should be our highest priority and that means saving Social Security and Medicare while preserving the American dream for our children and grandchildren.
Social Security is a promise that we cannot and must not break.
We will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it - not by turning it over to Wall Street.
But there is a need to explore ways we can preserve the promise of Social Security for future generations.
And in terms of entitlement reforms, we have to save them from themselves, because if we don't reform social security and we don't reform Medicare, they're going to actually implode.
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.
Though Congress continues to explore possible solutions to ensure social security solvency, everyone must take personal responsibility to prepare their own retirement savings accordingly.
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.
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.
We want to make sure that Social Security is fixed for those people who have had that promise and there's something in the future for our younger workers. And we're not about to do a welfare program.
