Florida State Director John Hallman Kicks Off “Own Your Future Tour” in Vero Beach

VERO BEACH. Florida State Director John Hallman spoke to the Republican Women’s Aware Federated Club on May 10th on the subject of Social Security Reform and Personal Retirement Accounts. Forty people were in attendance to hear John give an update on Social Security Reform attempts in Congress. John started by reviewing the problem of the pending insolvency of the current program and the options for fixing Social Security, including the need for Congress to stop raiding the Social Security Trust Fund.

John Hallman went on to explain how Personal Retirement Accounts would not only achieve permanent solvency over the long term but also give workers an opportunity for a much better return on their investment than Social Security can ever deliver.

The audience asked many questions after John’s presentation and a good discussion followed. Many in the audience spoke to John after the meeting was adjourned and said they had a much better understanding of the problem and agreed that PRA’s were the best option to fix Social Security. Many in the audience also commented that they enjoyed John’s presentation and that John made it easy to understand how PRA’s would work. Sandy, a member of the club, commented that she was against PRA’s until she heard John’s presentation and now is sold on PRA’s. After the meeting John handed out the “7.65 solution” brochure to further explain how we can reform both Social Security and Medicare.
