Kent Conrad: “What happens, if you take a prescription drug benefit out of the Medicare trust fund, to the solvency of the Medicare…”

Social Security's financial challenge affects nearly our entire society, and the solutions will require a broad-based approach.

We did a whole series of things in our Social Security reform not to discourage people from working, but to encourage them to continue working if they are able to do so.

if we are going to make this whole system solvent, it is going to take everybody to give a little bit.

The one thing I know for sure is that what is happening now is not working.
