On Social Security:
Oppose privatization; support cost-of-living adjustments
West Virginians believe in honoring the wisdom and experience of our senior citizens. They have worked hard and earned the right to respect and dignity as they age.Social Security is an important income security program for Americans, and I oppose
any effort to privatize the program. There are ways to help insure the program's solvency without jeopardizing benefits to those who receive them.
For many of our seniors, including my father, Social Security is a sole source of stable income after retirement. I oppose any attempt to privatize or cut Social Security benefits for any reason.
I support the annual cost-of-living adjustment for
Social Security and I oppose efforts to change the formula, especially formula adjustments that do not take into account the significantly higher health-care and drug costs our seniors pay.
