So I'm having a conversation with my 25-year-old daughter And I said, "We're having Marc Goldwein on the podcast.

We're gonna talk about Social Security." And she's like, "Why? Why do I care? Why do I care about Social Security?" And I'm like, "Oh my gosh, this is exactly the issue.

I'm, I'm gonna jump in now, um, Teresa and Ramina, because we have some, some other people we'd like to bring into the conversation who have been listening to the debate, they know this topic, and we've asked them to join us, hear what you're saying, and then come in with some questions.

And the first person I'd like to welcome is Mark Goldwein.

And Mark, um, you, you debated with us before, so, uh, and actually you debated against Teresa a few years ago.

Um, so it's great to have you back, uh, on the program.
