Charles Djou on Social Security

 

 


Never renege on our promises & commitment to our seniors

The federal government has an obligation to honor the commitment it has made to our nation's citizens who have been paying into Social Security their whole life and are nearing retirement age. I have never and will never support reneging on our commitment to our seniors.

Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement programs need to be protected, not abused and exploited. Frequent borrowing from social security to pay for today's "priorities" has bankrupted the program.

We must keep the promises that have been made to our seniors. We cannot let Social Security go bankrupt. Social Security is sound for today's seniors and for those nearing retirement, but it needs to be fixed for our children. We must act soon, because every year that we wait to fix this problem we will burden future generations.

I support President Obama's suggested reforms for entitlements and believe this should be the basic foundation for fixing Social Security for the next generation.
