Senate Leader Frist Calls for June Vote on Social Security
Contact our representatives in Washington, D.C.
Push back the Bush attack on Social Security -- let them know that this is a very bad plan.
Paul Krugman of the New York Times writes:
“The important thing to understand is that the attempt to turn Social Security into nothing but a program for the poor isn't driven by concerns about the future budget burden of benefit payments. After all, if Mr. Bush was worried about the budget, he would be reconsidering his tax cuts.”
“No, this is about ideology: Mr. Bush comes to bury Social Security, not to save it.
His goal is to turn F.D.R.'s most durable achievement into an unpopular welfare program, so some future president will be able to attack it with tall tales about Social Security queens driving Cadillacs.”
