Retirement; Obama


Posted by; Joseph Owen

As I was viewing the Barack Obama and Joe Biden website, I wanted to take a look to see their views on Retirement.  I am interested to see what their plans on in regards to Social Security and Medicare.  These are two vital issues that will affect us as adults.  Social Security may not be able to support and remain affective by the time I am looking to retire.  As this is an extremely important issue for my age group, I was curious to see Obama's perspective on Retirement.  

Obama and Biden are committed to ensuring Social Security is solvent and viable for the American people, now and in the future. Obama and Biden will be honest with the American people about the long-term solvency of Social Security and the ways we can address the shortfall. Obama and Biden will protect Social Security benefits for current and future beneficiaries alike. And they do not believe it is necessary or fair to hardworking seniors to raise the retirement age. Obama and Biden are strongly opposed to privatizing Social Security. As part of a bipartisan plan that would be phased in over many years, they will ask those making over $250,000 to contribute a bit more to Social Security to keep it sound.
