Save Social Security from Privatization

Tell Congress: Don't Destroy Social Security by Privatizing it!

President Bush is trying to scare Americans into believing that Social Security is in crisis and must be destroyed to "save" it. The President is pushing Congress to approve a radical plan that would dismantle the program by permitting workers to use their Social Security contributions to play the stock market. President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security would eliminate the guaranteed benefit, cut benefit levels, likely raise the retirement age and add trillions of dollars to the already out-of-control budget deficit.

Over the long term the Social Security program needs to be adjusted and strengthened. But, contrary to the President's untruths, Social Security is not in crisis. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the Social Security program can continue to pay 100 percent of guaranteed benefits until 2052 and only needs minor changes so that it can continue to pay 100% of the currently guaranteed level of benefits for the rest of the century.
