John Yarmuth on Social Security

Democrat

I oppose privatizing Social Security

I oppose privatizing Social Security. The privatization plan promoted by George Bush and Anne Northup would add almost $2 trillion to the national debt and it would do nothing to solve whatever cash low problems that may or may not exist in the current system. There is no current need to adjust what has been one of the country's most successful social insurance programs. Source: Campaign website, www.yarmuthforcongress.com, "Issues" Nov 7, 2006
