    No. For people who live on it, they still get it. He wants to allow the younger to invest their social security deductions in something that will not be taken away. Because if we do nothing , social security will bankrupt in 2025, and people retiring after that will be screwed.

    Do fish swim in water?

    All Republicans have sworn to end the Great Society of president Johnson, namely Medicare and PBS. Romney would end both programs.

    Bush attempted to privatize Social Security until it was pointed out to him that the Social Security Trust Fund is how his wars were financed. If Romney can defeat the laws of arithmetic and reduce the national debt, then he might eventually try to privatize social security again.

    No, but he understands it's unsustainable as it is today. That Ponzi scheme has finally played out as many people have always known it would.

    Social Security, Medicare, and other entitlements are 68% of the Budget, military is 24%, debt service (at less than 1% interest) is 6%, government operations is 2%. 37% of the budgets of $3.5 trillion is deficit each year now and must be borrowed.

    Source(s): For decades I studied philosophies, cultures, and social institutions. I began that because of confusion resulting from my military experience under the shadow of neo-Marxist anti-military and anti-capitalism indoctrination in the universities. I continue a forty year quest wading through the huge pile of stinking crap a wide variety of bigots piled on top of truth hiding it from nearly everyone's view. The pile was made by blaming people they don't like while excusing people they do like regardless of where the fault really lies.
