I am a family man first and foremost.  I believe in doing what is best for the family based on self-reliance and good fiscal responsibility. The last thing our senior citizens want is to feel dependent on anything or anyone. They have invested in good faith in our Social Security system and they expect the investment to pay off in their elder years. Anything that is done to modify our Social Security system should first take into account the concerns of every American vested in the system. I will not support any measure that does not guarantee security for our seniors. Any future legislation should only consider citizens 55 and younger, so they have the time to begin preparing for a possibly insolvent system down the road. Young people need to be told the facts now, so they can come up with the means of supporting themselves, and transition away from government dependence.
