Jan Ting on Social Security

 


Bi-partisanship is a precondition for fixing Social Security

Q: What do you propose to address future funding shortfalls for Social Security?

A: A long-term fix for Social Security & Medicare can only be done in an atmosphere of bi-partisanship. It is impossible in the current climate of extreme partisanship, where each side is eager to distort and attack any initiative of the other party. I pledge to work to restore the state of bi-partisanship which once prevailed in the US Senate, which is the necessary pre-condition for fixing Social Security and Medicare
