In a USA Today op-ed published on...And Finally....<br /><br />In a USA Today op-ed published online on Monday, Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry seeks to clarify his position on Social Security.<br /><br />The Texas governor writes that he believes current recipients of Social Security benefits should be protected from potential reforms to the entitlement program. For younger Americans, however, he says, "We must consider reforms to make Social Security financially viable."<br /><br />Perry explains, "For too long, politicians have been afraid to speak honestly about Social Security." He adds, "We must have the guts to talk about its financial condition if we are to fix Social Security and make it financially viable for generations to come."<br /><br />The attempt from Perry to outline his position on Social Security comes one week after the Republican hopeful raised eyebrows with harsh language he used in addressing the issue during last week's GOP presidential debate in California.<br /><br />During the forum, Perry didn't run from his past characterization of Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme." He also repeated his criticism of the entitlement program as a "monstrous lie."<br /><br />The Texas governor, however, did abandon his use of the questionable choice of words in Monday's op-ed.<br /><br />This guy has no idea what a Ponzi Scheme is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408032595213433857noreply@blogger.com
