“reclaiming my time, let me reemphasize first, if I can, four options. One, save the money. Do not spend any of the seniors' Social Security money by growing the government. Number two, raise taxes.

We have an obligation to save 100 percent of the money that is going into it now for Social Security. Then we have an obligation to fix the system for the generations to come.”
