Hale too thee Cheef

The Chief Executive continues to explain the Social Security System :- "Here's the way the system works. Two folks work, they both contribute to the Social Security system. If one dies early, the -- thees, the spouse, the -- remaining spouse gets to choose her benefits or his benefits, which are ever greater, but not both. Think about that system." In case, by any chance, that wasn't crystal clear, he expands:- "If you're a two-working family like a lotta families are here in America, and, uhh -- two people working in your family, and the, the spouse dies early -- before 62, for example -- all of the money that the spouse has put into the system, uhh, is gum -- held there, and then when the other spouse retires, he or she gets to choose the benefits from his or her own work, or the other spouse's benefits, which is ever higher but not both."
