“President Trump should promptly denounce Treasury Secretary Bessent’s promotion of a ‘backdoor’ way to privatize Social Security. Mr. President, you know that in Washington, D.C. some bad ideas never die. Privatizing Social Security is one of those ‘zombie’ ideas. President George W. Bush tried it after his re-election in 2004 — and failed miserably. The American people didn’t buy it then, and they won’t buy it now. They do not want their hard-earned Social Security benefits handed over to Wall Street. Mr. President, don’t let this bad idea rear its ugly head again. Make a clear, unequivocal statement (as only you can) that your administration will not try to privatize Social Security.” – Max Richtman, President and CEO, National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare
