Dr. Rand Paul on Social Security Video
Years of wasteful spending by career politicians in Washington have left the Social Security trust fund six trillion dollars in the hole. The trust fund will be fully exhausted in the next few decades, and by that point all beneficiaries receiving Social Security will experience an immediate 25 percent cut in benefits.
Millions of Americans depend on Social Security and if we are to keep our promises to them, we can no longer ignore the fiscal state of this critical program.
I support proposals that would fully fund the shortfall in Social Security while preserving the system for seniors and implementing reforms to save the program for younger generations.
