Here Comes Privatization

President Bush and his congressional allies are gearing up to ram a Social Security privatization bill through Congress. Because a majority of the American public disapprove of Bush’s privatization plan, the GOP congressional leaders are trying to pass off their privatization bill as “new”. We won't be fooled --  any bill that privatizes Social Security is a bad deal for working and retired Americans.

This new privatization bill does exactly what the Bush proposal does -- it replaces guaranteed benefits with a risky stock market plan, cuts benefits, raises the retirement age and explodes the national debt.

Tell the House of Representatives to oppose privatizing Social Security and not to be fooled by the change of name. Privatizing Social Security by any name is a bad -- and risky -- deal.
