I actually am concerned about what you brought up about solvency of Social Security. And that's why I'm a co sponsor of Social Security 2100 to adjust it to raise the cap so that more people pay into it longer and so the solvency lasts longer. My opponent, on the other hand, seems to have found an epiphany about Social Security because when he was writing Mitt Romney's policies, he wrote the plan for cutting Social Security and he called it the big enchilada of entitlements.
