We want to make sure that Social Security is fixed for those people who have had that promise and there's something in the future for our younger workers. And we're not about to do a welfare program.

Social Security is a program that should be strengthened and preserved for future generations.

How we treat the earth basically effects our social welfare and our national security.

I am proud of our president, our troops, and our allies, ... Yes, we are fighting to preserve our national security. But we are also fighting to preserve the universal ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I've never said anything about privatizing Social Security.

I am dedicated to making sure Social Security will be there for future generations and have written legislation to strengthen the program.
