how do you process a program as a younger person like social security?again activists, government types of you will say you are relieved of the burden of caring for elderly parents. you won't have to worry about their hospitalization or medicare or social security. >> i would say one thing i would not be relieved of his paying higher taxes to fund these programs. if we look at current trends if they continue in 2050 young people are going to be paying a combined 30% of their paychecks just to fund social security and medicare. that is over double double what it is today and you might think that's not possible. there's no way government could take 30% just for entitlements ignoring other taxes. that's the level we have seen a lot of european economies and it's not working out well for them. he thought an ordinance pushing 50% in places like spain where we see high youth unemployment in portugal and italy, is that where we want to be where we are taking a third up in people's hard-earned money to support assistance that they will probably never get a sense

to protect social security to which you say that that you don't cut social security to save social security, somebody is making $118,000 a year somebody's making 10 million a year they're paying the same amount of money into the social security trust fund. you lift that cap, and you start asking people above $250,000 a year to start paying more into the system. social security can be expanded. what they've talked about, this is the decade long attack on social security by the republican party. they want to privatize it eventually they want to make cuts. we have millions of seniors struggling 12 13 $14,000 a year. ly not accept -- >> you accept raising the age? >> of course not. >> what about testing, do billionaires and millionaires to collect the same amount that -- >> they're not talking about millionaires and billionaires $40,000 a year. >> any means testing? >> no the universal program. everybody deserves to put into it everybody deserves to get a benefit. we can extend that program by not asking any one more than the top 2%. >> why did you vote against this compromise the surveillance

neil: democrats are doubling down, many of them saying we need to beef up social security, expand socialecurity. obviously when it comes to that entitlement dino many people ball get the notion of being an entitlement but say what you will. the math doesn't favor its longevity. >> bernie is no fool but bernie is saying expand it. with what? come john. stepped up to the plate and be honest. if anybody can get up and they do nowadays can say it is a terrible problem but we can cure it without touching precious medicaid or medicare, precious defense and social security, get on your hind legs and say it is a terminal logical inexactitude. neil: i understand that. one last thing. when you took over the debt commission to try to hammer out a way to address long-term debt did you have any idea that the president would just turn his back on a health food law? did you get a sense than that nothing was ever going to be done? >> when we did our work and turned the baby in december of 2010 he thanked us, gave us a pat on the back and headed to sumpter overseas but every single democrat did the same

it is an enormous priority to make sure that we make social security solvent.tration has a life expectancy that is undersold and oversold fertility. it is a bad combination. so, we need to get realistic about that and make sure everything we do is about reacting to the human condition that we find. we are living longer lives. the average life expectancy of a woman in america is now 83. the average for a man is 79. i see a bunch of women smiling out there.

i could produce your social security number i could make a reasonbly good case that i was you. there are so many social security numbers of everybody floating around, i don't think we can make that case any more. we're getting to the point where we can't use a social security number as personal identifiable information. >> why would they do this? what are they after? >> the best guess is china is looking for information that it can do data mining on that it can find those americans that has best chance of recruiting for foreign military for china. similar to the one on various health plans used in the washington area. it's just a way of gathering information to find out who is vulnerable. >> and as far as vulnerability the united states had some defense with these computer defense systems. >> i don't think the sophistication was good enough, otherwise this would not have happened in the first place. i can see that some federal officials are congratulating themselves that they caught it at all. but the break-ins took place in december several months ago. people think if you prot

anybody on social security and medicare?nybody want to be on social security and medicare one day? all of us. as my generation retires, both programs are on track to go bust. we are living longer and fewer workers are supporting more retirees. that is unsustainable. everybody knows it, but not everybody will admit it. we have to fix entitlement programs to make sure people who need the benefits the most receive them. that is going to require determined presidential leadership. i know from personal experience how important these programs are to the lives of millions of americans. as darline mentioned, we lost our parents when i was a young man and she was in middle school. we depended on social security benefits to survive. i have been fortunate. i have done better than i ever dreamed. if i and others like me have to take a little bit less and pay a little more to help those who need it most, so be it.

encrypting social security numbers. all of this happy talk about these complex systems we're going to come up with, you're not even encrypting people's social security numbers. that is a shame. let me ask you about this standard form 86. for those of you, obviously you know standard form 86 is what we require employees to fill out if they are going to receive security clearance. these are people who have sensitive information. we drill down on these folks. this is a copy of the application. it is online if you want to look it. it is 127 pages online. we ask them everything. what kind of underwear they wear. what kind of toothpaste. it is a deep dive. we want to know when people get security clearance that they are trustworthy. there is information, have you ever been arrested? you have financial information in here. there is a lot of information on this form. they hacked this. they hacked this. they got this information. on standard form 86. so they know all of these employee who is -- and everything about them that we

your social security number, phone number? sa with this woman. >> we never knew how people got my information. >> but "7 on your side" does. wewe discovered the identities of thousands of people, even big names like ashton kutcher, a former senator, and even ferguson police officer darren wilson. the i-team found their credit cards and even pin numbers posted where anyone can find it on a website. i did not have to pay for it. i did not have to search hard for it. how do you react? >> it is scary. >> 40 million had their credit and deborah cards compromised. we know data breaches can happen. we did not know hackers post bits and pieces to advertise they have more for sale in bulk. >> it is a way to anonymously but publicly verify you have stolen the set of data. >> those free samples of information are already scammer needs to steal your identitity. in december, his identity was used to get comcast service for this house 500 miles away in michigan. catching the people who steal your personal information is tough. it is illegal

we do not other social security number. isn't that something -- look. i am ok. i am confident i can take care of myself to a certain extent. my youngest son's coming up to dana went to make sure he is ok. my middle son's coming up tomorrow. isn't this something that should be taken care of immediately immediately? stacey fitzmaurice: yes, and we are taking actions immediately to work on continued improvements to -- to improve the data quality for the vetting systems. mr. carter: i -- i just can't believe that in the world's busiest airport, in atlanta hartsfield-jackson airport, that we could have people walking around unescorted. in secure areas and that airport where we do not know their social security numbers and we do not know their names. and that's something that we're sitting here talking about? you ought to be on the phone right now, stop, we've got to figure this out. i -- i -- i just -- i'm appalled at this. and mr. roth, i appreciate the efforts here and i appreciate all the efforts of all of you, but we need to take care of this admittedly. mr. chai

system uses social security numbers as its primary means of identifying taxpayers.ough they are now ubiquitous in public, private and corporate files, just waiting to be stolen by thieves. >> ferrer: the key to this is to have somebody in the inside, or someone who has access to our social security numbers, to our date of births. and a lot of these individuals are insiders in big institutions-- in banks, hospitals, schools, clinics. >> williams: we would approach anyone who worked at like a dental office, anybody who worked in a medical field. you would tell them if they get you 100 names, you would give them $1,000. >> kroft: these people easy to find in miami? >> williams: very easy. very easy. >> kroft: because you would think if you went in and started knocking on doors and asking people that worked at hospitals and doctors' offices and dentists' office, somebody would call the cops. >> williams: no, they... they needed the money more than they wanted to call the cops. everybody was with it, everybody was with the scam. >> kroft: was this like a community of peo

those like governor huckabee is saying leave social security alone are clueless. what do you think? >> first, the security is different because i don't have that an entitlement. people have money from their paycheck and contribute for years. but we have reform entitlement, but the bigger problem too many people are getting entitlement because they don't have opportunity in this country. the key to reducing entitlement is creating greater opportunity. when someone has a good paying job they're not on medicaid. >> your gist would be get a good job -- in the meantime what guys like governor christie are saying is that the social security you can call it a rye toast sandwich. it is what it is. the math didn't favor it going much longer than it is. what would a president pataki do? >> i'd start with what the bowles commission did. raising the retirement that protects everybody remotely near retirement. >> it would mean social security -- >> no they don't mean that when they take it out of your paycheck. >> i'm paying for welfare and food stamps. i don't get it. >> well, social security yo

grow the economy and change the manner which you fund social security because right now social security is funded only by people who are paying payroll taxes of the problem is only are doing that you have a diminishing number of people who are in the payroll taxes. neil: governor, you're very good at math. as a governor you're very good at math. money in, money out and the issue was chris christie said whether that means you means test social security or you raise the retirement age are you saying that you would not be open to that? >> i think you have to take people already in the system. you know i heard people say, we'll cut off at age of 55. that means a person worked for 40 years under a system which they involuntarily paid the government to hold on to money for them. now the government is saying we'll not honor that. neil: governor christie, governor says, there are many many programs we pay into, food stamps, welfare, that we don't take advantage of. this would be another one. i'm paraphrasing. >> okay. but here's the difference. we pay into a general fund this is specifically co

i think the responsible thing is to step in and preserve and reform social security and medicare.oliticians in washington are doing right now allowing it to careen towards ill solvency is fundamentally irresponsible -- >> does that mean you would raise the retirement age or means test is. >> means you do both. for seniors and those who are near retirement, you make no changes whatsoever. i think governor huckabee is exactly right in that regard, we need honor the commitments that have been made to our seniors who -- >> what do you mean by close to retirement those who are five, ten years away? >> those within a few years and let me contrast it to people my age. i'm 44. it's hard to find someone my generation who believes social security will be there for them, and i think that gives us an opportunity for common sense reforms. the reforms i'd like to see -- i'm campaigning on fundamental reform to preserve entitlements. we ought to gradually inacross retirement age. change the rate of increase in benefits so it matches inflation rather than exceeding inflation both for younger work

it's bigger -- social security and medicare of the two big ones.then you have medicaid and then you have obamacare which will grow over time and add to unfunded liabilities. >> what do you make -- you think about it, james if you have democrats saying expand social security, don't try to slow growth, expand it, and then you have republican candidates debating about means testing it or checking it with the exception of huckabee, maybe huckabee is right? maybe you're just playing with lightning. >> i don't know. when we say democrats are for expanding it, this is really a demonstration of how far to the left elizabeth warren in a very short period of time is pushing the party even beyond where obama is because if you look at recently as last year the trustey's reports from the obama administration, his secretary of labor, his treasury, hhs secretary, saying these programs are not sustainable. you have to reform them before we have disruptions for beneficiaries in the future or big consequences for taxpayers. so it's really the extreme left that unfor

blames the social security system for her mother's death.system that is at the center of a corruption scandal here. officials allegedly inflated costs, cut deals with vendors and made off with some $300 million leaving the system short of medicines and services. at least 11 women are reports to have died after taking faulty drugs. this is the hospital where her mother died and one out of every eight honduras people relies on social security for healthcare and in this hospital people are struggling just to get the basic care they need. inside long lines and only a little medicine. patience is wearing thin. >> translator: we come from far away to get medicine and when we get here they don't have any, it's like they think we don't have anything better to do with our time. >> translator: constantly having to buy own medicines and they gave me this prescription for my son and they do not have it. >> reporter: lawyer viktor is pressuring the government for more information on cases. >> translator: to assure this is not just isolates to the social

and cyber security to encrypt social security numbers? i didn't think so. did your cyber security strategic plan include leaving half of opm plans without security. >> nos. >> then why was it not made a priority? >> the systems that the i.g. referred to in our plan is that -- those systems that he recommended we shut down, he recommended that we shut them down because they were without authorization. all of our systems are now authorized and they are operating. i have to say that we are looking at systems that are very very old. and we can take a look at encorruption and other steps that can be taken and we are certainly doing that but as we look at this system we are also having to deal with decades of -- >> and i understand that. but i also understand there is an old saying that we had in the military, poor is the workman who blames his tools. missions can be accomplished, even with what you have. and measures could have been done had this been made a priority. and what i see now is why diddome had no multifaceted means. if they get into the system, they h

social security is a promise. it is a promise that is rooted in this idea that no one in america who has worked hard should grow old in poverty. that's a good idea and a right idea. but now we're to the point where choices are few because of the lack of action by our leaders. so yes, i said we should raise the retirement age two years over the next 25 years. think about that. it to get increase in 25 years to i will be 77 when it becomes more effective. will the world really stopped spinning on its axis for that? or to say to someone who makes over $200,000 a year, and retirement income, retirement income, then maybe you don't need to get your social security check. do you do need your solstice party check them? or is it better to leave that money for for the person they would need to do is try to figure out whether to pay the rent or to buy food or pay the heating bill or go to the doctor? you see, these programs if we don't do this, you only have two other choices, everybody. either insolvency, which is creeping

number one is: is social security a top level priority of yours? number two: your plan of raising the retirement age and other things is great for the future. it seems to be playing the numbers. but that may not last more than you know, 20-30 years. what would you think would be necessary for something like 50-75 years out? and number three: since you can't be a real lone wolf in this what steakholders would you convene to help your vision come to fruition. -- stakeholders -- >> it was the first one that was ready. i chose to talk about entitlement reform because entitle entitlements take up 71% of the budget now. if you aspire to national leadership you better deal with something you spend 71% of your tax dollars and your debt on. so it is an enormous pro priority we make social security sol solevant. second, the social security administration has a life expectancy that is undersold and oversold fertility. bad combination, right? we need to get realistic about that and make sure everything we do is about reacting to the human condition that we fin
