“Let’s not mess with a good thing. Social Security is one of the greatest things that our government has done,” Cartwright said. “And remember — it’s an insurance program that you paid into your whole lives and you’re entitled to be secure that you are going to get the payback in your senior years.”
U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright commemorated the 87th anniversary of Social Security on Monday by reiterating his support for protecting the program, telling a group of area seniors it's a great example of something government did right. On what was billed as the National Social Security Day of Action, Cartwright, D-8, Moosic, spent about 45 minutes talking up the program and fielding questions from a lunchtime crowd at United Neighborhood Centers' Oppenheim Healthy Aging Campus on Jackson Street. "Let's not mess with a good thing. Social Security is one of the greatest things that our government has done," Cartwright said. "And remember — it's an insurance program that you paid into your whole lives and you're entitled to be secure that you are going to get the payback in your senior years." |
