Of course, Rick Santorum has no serious prospects of winning the Rebug Presidential nomination. I agree with his assessment of social security - either it stands on it's own financially, or it simply becomes another welfare program.
Santorum: I Must ‘Exceed Expectations’ in Iowa to Stay in Race
Of course, that should be easy since the expectations are pretty low!
Here's his social security comment:
Santorum, who has visited all 99 counties in Iowa, was critical of the two-month extension Congress passed last week to the payroll tax cut extension — just eight days before its scheduled expiration.
“There are a handful of Republicans that have taken the position of not extending this or not even doing it in the first place, but most have gone along with any tax cut is a good tax cut,” Santorum said. “I don’t think so, because I think it undermines the whole integrity of the Social Security system.”
Santorum said he opposes the extension — for two months or a year. ” I’m against it being extended at all,” he said. “Either Social Security is a separate system that’s off budget and we pay for it by payroll taxes or it’s just another welfare program. It’s one or the other.”
Yes, he's right.
