Kendrick Meek: “the Members need to truly understand this. We know where we are as…”

On the recordJune 27, 2005

the Members need to truly understand this. We know where we are as Democrats. We are solid on the side of the issue of dealing with the solvency of Social Security beyond the 48 years it will be solvent, and beyond 80 percent benefits that individuals will receive after that. The gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz) and I have been working on this issue. We have had town hall meetings on it. Democrats have had some 900 town hall meetings throughout the country and will continue to have more to make sure that we fight against this issue of privatization and make sure that we make sure that Social Security is there for future generations. {time} 2245
