He said that any changes won't affect those on SS now or in the near future...so all those Florida retirees are safe.
He's talking about a long term fix for future generations.
Of course there won't. And no doubt all those seniors will believe him, a man who has quoted Milton Friedman on Social Security as the 'tyranny of the status quo' and who called it a 'crumbling failure'. In his book, Perry comes up with dozens of good reasons why Social Security never should have been started in the first place. But nowhere in that book is anything about what to do about it now or guaranteeing it for those currently on it. So if Perry tells those looking for solutions to 'read my book' then they aren't going to come away with any warm feelings.
“He said that any changes won’t affect those on SS now or in the near future...so all those Florida retirees are safe.”
Oh, so he actually did continue the lie.....
For a minute I thought he was being honest about Social Security.
