Social Security Comes up Again in Wednesday/Thursday Debate

Social Security Comes up Again in Wednesday/Thursday Debate

19 October 2006 · No Comments

I’m writing this still not having seen the actual debate. However, I like this comment from the New Haven Independent:

Asked to respond to young people’s fear that social security funds would disappear for them, Lieberman repeated his claim that “The social security trust fund has enough to pay benefits until 2040.”

Schlesinger (pictured) recoiled: “You know, Joe, this is why I’m running against you.” “There is no money in the social security trust fund. It’s a cruel hoax.” He said he’s the only candidate offering solutions. Turning to Lieberman, he said: “I know you’re just a member of the flock, but it’s time for you to fly away.”

I just wish that Schlesinger weren’t such a conservative in other areas. If it weren’t for that, I’d be voting for him.
