The Social Security Administration announced Thursday that Social Security benefits are set to jump by 5.8 percent next year, the largest increase in more than 25 years. But if George Bush and John McCain had implemented their plan to privatize Social Security and put our hard-earned money into risky private accounts on Wall Street, seniors would be seeing a massive reduction in their benefits instead.

As this ad explains, putting John McCain and Wall Street speculators in control of Social Security is a gamble Americans just can’t afford to take.

Paid for by American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees PEOPLE (1625 L St, NW, Washington, DC 20036) and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
