Political Quotes

“Social Security represents one of the most successful programs ever enacted by our government because it guarantees a real retirement security for millions of Americans. However, recent studies show that one-third of the young people believe Social Security will not be able to provide this same guarantee when they reach retirement age. It is our responsibility to take the appropriate steps to ensure that Social Security is safe and strong not only for my dad, who is 83 years old, but also for my generation of baby boomers, for the children I have, and also the grandchildren I will have someday. Our strong economy gives us an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen Social Security without radically changing it or raising taxes. This Congress needs to strengthen it, not dismantle it, so that the money is there for the people who have paid into it.”
