I am who I am. I'm going to speak my mind.

I think we need to make sure that we are putting Social Security on a sustainable path. It's absolutely something that the federal government is going to be involved in, in the future.

I don't believe in deadlines, I don't believe in telling the enemy when we're going to withdraw.

While I think the earth is warming, I don't think that man-made causes are the primary factor.

I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and, and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they, they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had.

Well, we certainly need to raise the retirement age. I've told my 19-year-old and my 22-year-old that they're not going to be getting retirement benefits at age 62.

We've got to make sure our younger workers understand that as life expectancy increases, the retirement date for benefits increases also.
