Denise Majette on Social Security
Protect and preserve without privatization schemes
I am committed to protecting and preserving Social Security for current retirees and future generations, and will oppose risky privatization schemes that would gamble with retirees' money. I support increasing the amount individuals
can contribute to their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) as well as providing financial incentives. Our goal should be to develop a viable retirement plan for future retirees while still honoring the commitments we have made to our seniors.
