I think we'll build a consensus for action on Social Security reform which will reduce that long-term unfunded obligation and put the system on a sustainable basis.

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

While Social Security faces some long-term challenges, the system is not in crisis.

I don't think he's lost any of his zeal for Social Security reform, ... The action has sort of shifted to the Hill now and the Ways and Means Committee so we'll have to kind of see what they can come up with.

I welcome the Democrats' ideas on Social Security. I think it is very important to make a bipartisan reform.

I fully expect that Congress will iron out the differences. With Social Security reform a bust, pension reform is a must.
