Phil Hare on Social Security

Total opposition to any type of privatizing

America's Families have benefited from Social Security for over 70 years. I support a balanced Social Security plan for guaranteed benefits so that we can continue providing for the people who rely on it today and for future generations who will need it. I am also in total opposition to any type of privatizing of Social Security. Private accounts would make building the Social Security system even harder. I believe it is far too risky and could destroy the system all together. Source: Campaign website, www.friendsofphilhare.com, "Issues" Nov 7, 2006
