Bernie Sanders actually said...

"the best retirement system and the most secure one that we have is Social Security because that is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government."

"Social Security has not added one penny to the national debt--quite the contrary."

"But the likelihood is that if we raise the retirement age, many of these women would never get a nickel from Social Security. They would be dead."

"It is very hard to think of them working that long."
