Published | Video Starts at 00:00

Ones that have laid out cuts or privatization proposals that called for sunsetting the programs every five years and statements that suggest that we, quote, pull Social Security up by the roots and get rid of it. Outrageous. The GOP is hellbent on destroying the only economic security that is available to most of our retirees. That's why we need Social Security 2100.

CLAIM

Asserts that the GOP aims to dismantle Social Security, which is the primary economic security for most retirees.
