Fox News
Eliminating waste, fraud and abuse and avoiding insolvency are key priorities Social Security commissioner Frank Bisignano outlined on Sunday.
"I think is, the team that oversees the Social Security Trust, which I'm one of – the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Labor, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services – we as a team will get together… probably in the next couple months, [to] go through the information that's produced. This is [an] effort across the board that will also involve Senate and Congress," Bisignano said. Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
"I think doing our job right is accretive to this economic challenge. It's been a 90-year-old institution, and as the president has said… we have no intent to break a system that can be improved, but we have no intent to break it, and I do believe that that team that will get together, along with the Senate and Congress, will ensure that this is here for the next 90 years, at least."
