Republicans and Your Social Security: What They’ve Actually Said

What have politicians actually said about the future of Social Security?

In this episode of the Vlogging Pod, I look at statements from Republican officials concerning Social Security, including discussions of privatization, personal investment accounts, changes to the program and even phasing it out. I also apply the same search criteria to current Democratic federal officeholders and explain what I found.

With the November election approaching, I lay out the statements and sources so listeners can hear what these officials have said and decide for themselves what those statements could mean for the future of Social Security.
