Question: Will you support or oppose a balanced Social Security plan to guarantee the plans benefits for future generations?

Murphy: SS is a bedrock and it should not be cut. Diverting money to private accounts is a horrible idea; take a look at what's happening with 401K's: You could be wiped out through no fault of your own. Everyone should plan for their own retirement, but SS is the base of those plans. It serves as a safety net.

Tedisco: Constituents are tired of being told one thing and seeing another done. Example: Thru-Way would be free after 90s; lottery would go to education. Same with SS. Need to change the structure, but not by spending more. Must remain solvent.
