Moderator Mitch Fox challenged Sharron Angle on a comment she made before the Republican primary.
He noted that before the primary, she referred to the need to ‘privatize’ Social Security. Now she uses the term ‘personalize.’
‘Why did you change your position on Social Security?’ Fox asked.
She said she used the word ‘personalize’ because it described a type of personal retirement account that lawmakers, such as Harry Reid, have. She did not acknowledge Fox’s assertion that she had changed her view on Social Security.
Reid said other nations have tried personalizing retirement accounts with disastrous results.
