I never sought to privatize Social Security.

Privatizing Social Security doesn't make sense, and it's out of step with the fundamental value of ensuring that after a life spent working hard and contributing to the greatness of our nation, every American should have a secure retirement.

Social Security is not broke, and Social Security does not need to be privatized.

The president and Republicans in Congress have repeatedly promised to revisit Social Security privatization after November. But Americans have already said, loud and clear, that they don't want Social Security to be privatized or dismantled.

Not only is privatizing Social Security not the solution to Social Security, it would exacerbate the problem.

We can preserve Social Security benefits for generations of Americans without privatizing this important program.

I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country.

I don't support getting rid of Social Security.

Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit.

However, the Administration's plan to privatize Social Security will undermine retirement security for all Americans by cutting guaranteed benefits by more than 40 percent, and risky private accounts won't make up for the loss of benefits for millions of Americans.
