Rand Knight on Social Security

Democrat Challenger

Opposes privatization unless it guarantees retirement income

Most of us work our entire lives so we can enter our golden years with security and peace of mind. For seventy-five years, Social Securityÿhas served as the underpinning for that peace of mind, soÿI will make solving the program'sÿsolvency a top priority

I will oppose the current administration's scheme to privatize Social Security unless it is modified to provide more protections including a guaranteed income level at retirement based on the contributions retirees have made all their working lives.
