Capito Says Social Security Is Safe

Businesses across the state gathered at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia this week for the state Chamber of Commerce Business Summit.  Guest speakers for the event included U.S. Senator Shelly Moore-Capito. She stressed that legislators in Washington are not looking to gut the Social Security program, despite rumors to that effect…

“I’m here to tell ya’, we are not going to lower benefits, we’re not going to raise the age. We’re going to find a way to keep social security – it is essential for West Virginia families and I’m not going to be a part of dismantling something that people have been counting on for years. So, if you hear the rumors or the scares that Social Security is going to be cut, that’s not going to happen.”
