On Social Security: Social Security is essential but needs wage limits increased

Social security is an essential component of the safety net for people as they get older and retire. The benefits provide essential resources for people who have worked their whole lives. Arguments that the benefits are excessive are simply fear mongering. We should commit to keeping it a public defined benefit system. We need to increase the wage limits subject to social security and Medicare contributions, so that high earning workers and managers contribute their fair share.

On Government Reform: Implement financial and performance audits

As mayor, I will tackle the total cost of Chicago government with four core principles: better and more efficient service; transparency and public accountability; comprehensive revenue reforms that are equitable and sized to meet the needs of a well-functioning government; and collaboration with our government partners, public employees, service providers, the City Council and our collective constituents. We must immediately implement financial and performance audits of city departments.
