Sept. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama made dueling pitches to the nation's elderly, each vowing to bolster Social Security while offering very different approaches.
Even as the candidates assailed one another's Social Security agenda, they issued a joint statement saying that they will appear together on Sept. 11 -- the seventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the U.S. -- at Ground Zero, the site in Lower Manhattan where the World Trade Center towers stood before they were struck by hijacked commercial airliners.
``On Thursday, we will put aside politics and come together to renew that unity, to honor the memory of each and every American who died, and to grieve with the families and friends who lost loved ones,'' their statement said. More details are to be released closer to the event.
Obama also said a plan to bring mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under government control likely is necessary, even though it may end up costing taxpayers billions of dollars.
