Positions and Views |
| Social Security, a General Statement |
New Hampshire's seniors deserve the dignity of a secure retirement. I want retired Americans to lead full, independent lives.
Seniors like my grandparents rely on Social Security, so I know first-hand how critical the program is for them. I want to ensure that Social Security is protected and preserved for future generations. Throughout this campaign, I've stated my clear belief that Social Security benefits should not be changed in any way for current recipients or those approaching retirement. And I oppose privatization.
For years, Washington politicians have been raiding the Social Security trust fund to pay for their special pet projects. I want to put the "trust" back in the Social Security trust fund. That starts with getting our fiscal house in order. We need to stop wasteful Washington spending to help put our entitlement programs on a sustainable path.
