Description“My generation and probably the generation that follows me, we are going to have to step up to the plate and say,” he said. “We are not going to get Social Security,” he said. “But we are going to pay into it to get this debacle squared away. So if I have to sacrifice my Social Security to get it squared away … because we can’t take Social Security away from people that are on it now.

Marino repeatedly emphasized that those adults already receiving benefits won’t see any reductions, and suggested that cutting future benefits for those not yet enrolled in Social Security might be the best way to ensure that, including raising the retirement age.

“My generation is probably going to have to work longer,” he said. “If we get anything it is going to be less. But I will certainly protect with every fiber in my body what the seniors are on now and my generation is going to take the hit.”
