Steven Sauerberg on Social Security

Republican Challenger

Create more jobs to fund Social Security benefits

Create more jobs to fund Social Security benefits. The number of workers per retirees will soon drop to an all-time low of one retiree for every two workers. By creating more jobs via a low tax, business and worker friendly environment, we can increase the amount of money paid into the Social Security system.

Ensure the solvency of the Social Security system

Have an honest, bipartisan discussion about the challenges the Social Security faces. The career politicians in Washington have failed us on this issue. By failing to seriously discuss all options to ensure the solvency of the Social Security system, the career politicians have seriously endangered the Social Security benefits of future generations of retirees.
