The Social Security system we have today is a result of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s vision of economic security for all Americans, and it is this vision that we hope to continue by strengthening Social Security for our children and grandchildren. It is my fear that Roosevelt’s vision will become blurred if Republicans and Democrats do not come together to discuss reasonable, responsible and realistic reform of Social Security, our nation’s largest and most successful entitlement program.
