Six things we know about Hillary Clinton's Social Security stance liberal N proud May 2016 #18

Good to know. I remember her saying these things at different times. ancianita May 2016 #21

Weird. It seems those would all count as "changes" to the Social Security system MH1 May 2016 #29

One quickly presumes change is bad liberal N proud May 2016 #31
