So I'll always do everything I can to make sure that Social Security is and will stay into effect. I'm not in favor of raising taxes, however, I am in favor of reducing spending at the federal level. Every single year, we are going further into debt over $3 trillion every 100 days, our country is going into debt over a trillion dollars. And, you know, that is what is causing this inflation.
