We should make it as easy as possible to be able to get a legal work visa - not citizenship, not a green card. Just a work visa, with a background check and a Social Security card so that applicable taxes would get paid.

I still have my original social security card signed when I was 13.

We would like to see you get together on Social Security, not for me and the older folks, but for our children. I would like for it to be based on actuary principal and if you guys don't do it, when is it going to be done?

Social Security is a covenant that should not be broken.

With the new system at Champlain, I cannot get Social Security numbers of my students. I can't even accidentally disclose the information. The only people that generally require Social Security numbers are dealing with financial aid.

The retirement age needs to be raised. A portion of Social Security ought to be privatized, if not all. And there probably needs to be some means testing. It's a Ponzi scheme that's not sustainable.
