Our seniors have worked long and hard to better the economy, raise families and serve their communities. They deserve to live independent and active lives in their golden years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After a lifetime of working, raising families, and contributing to the success of this nation in countless other ways, senior citizens deserve to retire with dignity.
I have a great affinity for senior citizens.
Caring for our seniors is perhaps the greatest responsibility we have. Those who walked before us have given so much and made possible the life we all enjoy.
In addition we also hire many senior citizens.
We have an opportunity, but we have an obligation to senior citizens and to the younger people who are entering the workforce today to help ensure that they are going to be able to trust the government to have a workable program that benefits them as well.
Every once in a while, you live long enough to get the respect that people didn't want to give while you were trying to become a senior citizen.
I agree with President Roosevelt, and generations since, that American seniors deserve better than poverty.
And because of these programs like Medicare, Medicare prescription drugs, Social Security, we now have the healthiest and wealthiest group of senior citizens that the world has ever seen. This is a continuing commitment to that.
We must ensure that today's seniors' benefits are rock solid and find a solution that fixes Social Security for the next generation that is just entering the workforce.
It's good to give seniors more choices and more options, let them choose a plan that's best for them and target assistance to the lowest income people.
