I am staunchly committed to ensuring the long-term solvency of Social Security and preserving full benefits for Americans who have spent their entire working lives contributing to this program.

Specifically, I am concerned about the long-term condition of Social Security. I am committed to ensuring that current beneficiaries and those nearing retirement face no reduction in benefits, while preserving this vital program for future generations.

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

The real sin with Social Security is that it's a long-term rip-off and a short-term scam.

From the employees' standpoint, in 1935, Social Security was a big gamble. Employees would be required to participate in the program, contributing a percentage of their income for their entire adult working life.

It's hard to exaggerate the importance of preserving the financial integrity of Social Security.
