Let's not forget that Social Security is something the government created. And now we're trying to have a government solution to a problem government created. Government's the problem here ladies and gentlemen. When Social Security was created, we didn't have the wealth of private sector solution for lifetime savings that you do today. We have to honor the obligations that have been made to those who are reliant on the federal government - older generations. But future generations should seek different private sector solutions and have personal responsibility start to lead the way. My kids are 6 and 5. They shouldn't know what Social Security is!
Frank Guinta, now:
The only way to ensure Social Security's future is to cut federal spending, so we can maintain the commitments we've made to our nation's seniors. I believe we need a solution to preserve Social Security which does not privatize the system, does not raise taxes, and does not cut existing benefits.
Let's be clear here. Team Guinta knows that some of the extreme positions he admitted to during the primary are unacceptable to the general electorate.
So he lies, while trying really hard not to make it look like a lie. Note the "commitments we've made to our nation's seniors" in the second quote. That gives him the out when he's in office later, destroying Social Security for all of our children.
Relatedly, if you follow the link on the second quote, you'll see that Frank has finally figured out that the solvency deadline on SS is 2037. Carol Shea-Porter had to educate him on that in the debate this week.
