I support voluntary personal retirement accounts for Social Security. It should be people's free choice.

If they've pretty much given up on Social Security then what other choice do they have? Whether or not it's politically feasible remains to be seen, but at least it will use up some of the oxygen in the room and crowd out bad ideas.

Voters should be assured that I absolutely do not support raising the retirement age for Social Security.

Social Security is more than just a retirement program. The biggest misunderstanding is that it's a program for old folks.

What we need is to make our senior citizens feel secure once more with their own Social Security and Medicare. But going forward, we need to personalize that program in a way that the government can't go in and raid it any more.

You marry out of free will. If I marry, it will be from a personal choice, not some social compulsion or norm.
