| STEIN: | A bit of a personal question then, are you on Social Security? Do you get Social Security checks?
|
| PAUL: | I do.
|
| STEIN: | Well, I mean, is there — you just told younger generations that they should ween themselves off this social contract.
|
| PAUL: | That is true.
|
| STEIN: | But you haven’t done it yourself…Don’t you think you chould have set a good example for the future generations. You’re not the wealthiest man in congress, I know that, but you have enough means to take care of yourself in retirement…Couldn’t you have set an example?
|
| PAUL: | No. I think the programs are so designed, just as I use the post office too, I use government highways, I do that too, I use the banks, the federal reserve system, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t work to remove this in the same way on Social Security. |
