Positions and Views |
| Long Term Viability of Social Security |
Erskine believes that Social Security is the bedrock of retirement security for our nation's seniors. The program represent a solemn compact that has been made between our government and every American who now, or in the future, seeks their benefits. Erskine will fight to protect Social Security by opposing efforts to privatize it, and by putting our fiscal house in order and ending the raid on the trust funds of these important programs.
The key to protecting Social Security is promoting sound long-term fiscal policy. Deficit deficit spending and huge tax cuts has put Social Security at risk.
