Angie Craig on Social Security

 

 


We need to keep Medicare and Social Security fully funded

Social Security and Medicare are a promise that we've made to America's seniors--if you work hard and play by the rules, affordable health care and the dignity of a secure retirement will be within your reach. In order to keep this promise, we need to keep Medicare and Social Security fully funded and combat any attempts to privatize or defund them.

Strengthen Social Security & Medicare; shore up funding

Medicare and Social Security allow Americans who have paid into these programs their entire lives to retire with dignity. That's why I oppose any changes that would cut, privatize or jeopardize these programs. I am determined to find ways to strengthen Social Security and Medicare. I am committed to eliminating waste, fraud and abuse of both programs, and shoring up their funding--even if it requires asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share.
