Zitat des Tages über Sozialversicherung / Social Security:

I oppose the president's plan to privatize Social Security. Brian Higgins

The public has lost faith in the ability of Social Security and Medicare to provide for old age. They've lost faith in the banking system and in conventional medical insurance.

Ron Chernow

We must work together to save and strengthen Social Security not just for my father's generation but also for my daughters' generation.

John Thune

If a woman did not work and have the opportunity to save and invest on her own throughout her lifetime, she is often totally reliant on her family and Social Security for her retirement years.

Ginny Brown-Waite

Social Security represents an $11 trillion unfunded obligation. And when I say unfunded obligation, I mean we have to come up with $11 trillion at some point to make the system whole.

John W. Snow

For these reasons, women tend to rely more heavily on Social Security in their retirement than do men.

Steve Israel

The women who pass away before they receive Social Security, for them this is nothing but a tax from which they or their family will never receive a benefit.

Ginny Brown-Waite

What we should be trying to do is to encourage people to establish private retirement accounts and help them take pressure off the Social Security system.

Dennis Moore

In order to fix Social Security, we must restructure it so that we continue to provide for our Nation's seniors that are approaching retirement age, but allow for younger taxpayers to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in private accounts.

Herman Cain

I'm the guy that has written at great length about exactly how we should profoundly reform Social Security. If I were afraid of going after entitlements, I wouldn't have done that, I wouldn't have put Medicaid reform in this budget, I wouldn't have called for the reductions in spending, which people will scream about, but I think are necessary.

Pat Toomey

The Bush Administration claims there is a Social Security crisis only to distract Americans from its serious mismanagement of the federal budget.

Mark Dayton

Right now, too many women who reach retirement age find themselves widowed or single, relying on their Social Security check for over half of their income.

Judy Biggert

It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.

Barack Obama

However, the Administration's plan to privatize Social Security will undermine retirement security for all Americans by cutting guaranteed benefits by more than 40 percent, and risky private accounts won't make up for the loss of benefits for millions of Americans.

Ruben Hinojosa

When I look at Social Security, I consider it the most important social program in the United States, arguably the most successful program in the world.

Jim Leach

As you know, Social Security functions under the premise that today's workers will help finance benefits for retirees and that these workers will then be supported by the next generation of workers paying into the same system.

Steve Israel

According to the Social Security Administration, in 1945, 41.9 workers supported each individual retiree, while today only 3.3 workers support each retiree. This system cannot continue.

Larry Elder

Our country also hungers for leadership to ensure the long-term survival of our Social Security system. With 70 million baby boomers in this country on the verge of retirement, we need to take action to shore up the system.

Kay Bailey Hutchison

Why shouldn't future generations and young Americans have the choice to earn a higher rate of return? Why shouldn't they be able to own their own Social Security so that Congress can't spend it on other things?

Ken Mehlman

Social Security Number Cards by themselves were never intended to be personal identity documents because they cannot confirm that a person presenting a card is actually the person whose name appears on the card.

Ron Lewis

I would love to see a march on Washington that says 'Save our Social Security'.

Barbara Boxer

By requiring that any surplus in Social Security taxes be returned to the American people in personal savings accounts, the plan ensures that Social Security taxes will be used for Social Security.

Mike Pence

The national debate on Social Security has been cheapened by demagoguery on all sides.

Bill Delahunt

I don't believe there's a red state in America where people believe you should cut Medicare, Social Security and veterans' benefits rather than doing away with corporate tax loopholes.

Bernie Sanders

Social Security is a covenant that should not be broken.

Emanuel Cleaver

I'm dubious about having Social Security put into the stock market. I think that we have gotten very far away from the idea that there's something sacrosanct about retirement investments.

Ron Chernow

But there is a need to explore ways we can preserve the promise of Social Security for future generations.

Sue Kelly

The life expectancy is much longer today than it was when Social Security was created.

Virginia Foxx

Mr. Speaker, Americans want, need, and rightfully expect Congress to protect them from the prying eyes of identity thieves and give them back control of their Social Security numbers and personal health information.

Luis Gutierrez

We're taking on Social Security as a property rights issue. We figure that every single American has an absolute property right interest in the fruits of his or her own labor. What I work for should be my property.

Malcolm Wallop

Spending when the math's not there and the numbers aren't there and if they look in the social security trust fund, it's filled with IOUs because the government's been pilfering it for years on end. We have to do something. We have to start having this discussion.

Ben Quayle

We're going to lose Social Security and Medicare if Republicans and Democrats do not come together and find a solution like Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill. I will be the Ronald Reagan if I can find a Tip O'Neill.

Lindsey Graham

The mortal enemies of Social Security and Medicare are those who, in contempt of the plain arithmetic, continue to mislead Americans that we should change nothing.

Mitch Daniels

The money the president wants to borrow for Iraq will come directly out of the American taxpayer wallets in the form of Medicare and Social Security receipts. That's your money.

Robert Byrd

I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country.

Barbara Mikulski

Social Security and Medicare represent promises made and we must keep these commitments.

Tom Coburn

The true enemies of Social Security and Medicare are those who defend an imploding status quo.

Mitch Daniels
