Social Security: Hands off
- Issue: A plan proposed recently by Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and a similar plan presented by Re. Jim McCrery (R-LA) would create private accounts funded by the surplus taxes that will be paid into the Social Security system for the next 11 years. This might sound like a new type of plan for Social Security – but it’s still privatization.
