We need to take steps to strengthen and mend Social Security so that its promise of a secure retirement is just as real for seniors in the future as it is today.
I respect public employees and school teachers. They deserve a secure retirement.
Our government makes the simple promise of a secure retirement to every American who works for many years and contributes to our retirement benefit system.
Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.
Especially if you're over 40, shortening the term of your loan to pay it off sooner could make you mortgage-free in retirement.
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.
A squirrel attacked me. I got attacked by a squirrel in Battersea Park. They're dangerous. It's rare. I've torn most of the ligaments in my knee. So no football for me. It's early retirement now. I've got a floating knee-cap!
Starting a new retirement plan for those below a certain age is something tens of millions of Americans have already been through at work.
Our nation's Social Security Trust Fund is depleting at an alarming rate, and failure to implement immediate reforms endangers the ability of Americans to plan for their retirement with the options and certainty they deserve.
The young come in many guises: vigorous and passionate, vindictive and mean-spirited. And not every person over 65 is dozing in a retirement home.
Since Social Security faces a large gap between what it promises younger workers and what it can afford to pay them, private savings will likely need to play a larger role in retirement planning for younger workers.
We've got to make sure our younger workers understand that as life expectancy increases, the retirement date for benefits increases also.
