Lonegan Battles Booker on Social Security; ‘the Difference Between me and Cory Booker Is He Doesn’t Trust People’

LONEGAN: "I want young people to have the opportunity to either go into the current Social Security system -- it needs to be maintained -- or have that same money going into their own privately held investment fund would be governed by the same rules. Imagine the money they would have to bank by the time they are 65 years old. Imagine folks if you had all your money in the bank that you put into Social Security into your own accounts right now. That would make you wealthy. Many people would be wealthy. But the difference between me and Cory Booker is he doesn't trust people to invest their own money. He doesn't want to give you the ability to invest your own money. He wants the government to do every single thing for you."
