Medicare and Social Security
Too many people rely on Medicare and Social Security to allow these programs to go bankrupt. Our national debt places our future as a nation at risk, and cutting these programs that so many Americans depend on for their own futures is not the solution to this problem.
Over the past few years, Congress has taken steps to improve the management of the Social Security trust fund. I’m open to exploring the ideas of allowing Social Security trustees to invest in private securities and allowing younger taxpayers to invest some of their Social Security taxes in private accounts.
Congress must lead to improve and preserve Medicare for current and future retirees. Long-term solvency for these programs is an important goal, and making drastic cuts to the program is not the way to accomplish this goal. Social Security and Medicare are a contract that needs to be honored.
