Misam Abidi on Social Security

 

 


Oppose full privatization; support modernization

Q: Your opinion on "Privatize Social Security"?

A: Oppose full privatization; support modernization. Social Security's financial decline cannot be ignored, but placing every American's basic retirement security entirely into private markets would replace one danger with another. We should preserve a guaranteed public foundation while reforming its financing, protecting its funds from political misuse, and giving people additional opportunities to build ownership and wealth. Tennessee should complement Social Security through a professionally managed Tennessee Wealth Fund that converts part of our state's growth and assets into long-term benefits for its people. The better future is not total dependence on government or total exposure to Wall Street. It is a secure public floor combined with genuine personal and shared wealth-building.
