This is my first term. I was told it was going to be an exciting term, and a lot of things would be done, and I cannot think about something more exciting than save Social Security.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For my children, it makes sense to talk about modernizing Social Security, letting them create stronger personal accounts, letting them get a higher rate of return over the long run.
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.
I know of no serious proposals that would change the way Social Security operates for today's seniors.

Never once have I thought that Social Security would be something that would ever be available to me.
But there is a need to explore ways we can preserve the promise of Social Security for future generations.

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 faces a long-term actuarial deficit, yes.
