Susan Parker on Social Security


No privatization: stock market is risky

If corporate accounting scandals teaches us anything, it is that money in the stock market is never guaranteed. Even Privatization's strongest supporters admit that in order to take money out of the Trust Fund and place it in the stock market, they will be forced to dramatically reduce benefits to current retirees. In short, privatization is a plan for disaster and as a US Senator, I will fight tooth and nail to keep it (privatization) from stealing your retirement.
