Message | We need to provide for all our citizens. By permitting benifits to run out and provide no safety net, we are turning our backs on our population when they need it the most. For this reason we do not support time limits on support. A small safety net in the form of a public pension system serves the same purpose. A safety net which prevents a bad choice or two from completely bankrupting our seniors. |
