John McCain on Social Security: "It's An Absolute Disgrace"

It's easy to think that Social Security is a disgrace when your family has $100 million and 8 homes, like John McCain's does. But for the rest of us - for our parents, and for our grandparents - Social Security is how millions of people pay their bills and keep food on the table.



Social Security is the principal source of income for two-thirds of older Americans, and virtually the only source of income for one-third. Social Security also serves as an important safety net, protecting America's workers and their families against the risks of death and disability.
