Tell President Bush not to sign away America’s family insurance plan!

Sign Our Pledge to Protect Social Security

I oppose the Republican privatization plan because:

It would cut Social Security’s funding and weaken the program.

It would cut benefits by one-third or more, even for those who choose not to risk their money in a privatized account.

It would require even deeper benefit cuts for those who do choose a privatized account.

It would require borrowing nearly $5 trillion, much of which from foreign countries like China and Japan.

Therefore, I pledge to fight the Republican privatization plan and work for real solutions that strengthen Social Security for the long term.

2. More like $15 trillion

$5 trillion would probably only cover the first 15-20 years.
