Harry Mitchell on Social Security

Serious overhaul like privatization is unneeded

Without question, Social Security is one of our nation's most successful and important programs. In the years ahead, Social Security will face a challenge. But this challenge is not a crisis. While we do need to take steps to ensure Social Security's sound financial footing, I do not believe it needs a serious overhaul like privatization. The last thing we need is radical Social Security privatization proposals that will undermine Social Security and cut guaranteed benefits.
