Lloyd Smucker: “We have made tremendous progress in that regard, where we are talking today about being a net exporter of energy.”

My view is that this will need to be done on a bipartisan basis.

There’s already a retirement age that has been increasing gradually for a certain cohort, and that’s one of the changes you could make, and that would seem to make sense because people are living longer.

I want them to be calling into their members of Congress and asking them to fix the debt and to fix Social Security to make sure it’s sustainable and to be sure that we can keep the promises that we’ve been making.

We can’t allow that to happen, and the only way you address that is to start being serious and realistic about the math problem and the demographics.
