I fully expect that Congress will iron out the differences. With Social Security reform a bust, pension reform is a must.

I don't think he's lost any of his zeal for Social Security reform, ... The action has sort of shifted to the Hill now and the Ways and Means Committee so we'll have to kind of see what they can come up with.

We still face a longer-range deficit problem and that will be exacerbated by increases in Medicare and Social Security payments, ... It would be helpful to bring our budget deficit down longer-term. I worry more about that than this temporary increase in the deficit.

Some of it will be covered by insurance and Social Security, but the rest of it we just don't know.

Republicans are hoping no one will notice their rapid retreat from the issue of Social Security.

I don't know of any bills we have. My pension and Social Security aren't huge, but between them we do nicely. We don't require a whole lot.
