John,
TOMORROW, the Senate Finance Committee is holding a hearing on nominees to the Social Security Advisory Board.
Mitch McConnell likes nominee Andrew Biggs so much he’s using a procedural trick that would automatically give Biggs two terms, leaving him on the board into the 2030s! The New York Times Editorial Board has warned that Biggs is “a zealous advocate of privatizing Social Security,” so it’s no wonder McConnell is so enthusiastic.
Having a privatizer like Andrew Biggs on the Social Security Advisory Board could make it easier for Mike Johnson’s fiscal commission to dismantle our Social Security system. We need to stop him.
Social Security Works is launching an all-out campaign to block privatizer Andrew Biggs’ nomination. Can you rush a donation today?
As a reminder, Andrew Biggs:
-
Was instrumental in the Bush admin’s 2005 attempt to privatize Social Security
-
Advocated for raising the retirement age in 2013
-
Supports means-testing Social Security
-
Has dismissed the looming retirement income crisis as a “non issue”
-
And supported Donald Trump’s move to unilaterally defund Social Security
Biggs will be a loud voice for privatization on the Social Security Advisory Board, just as Republicans are pushing behind closed doors to cut or privatize Social Security and Medicare. His nomination must be stopped!
Can you rush a donation to Social Security Works today to make sure that we block this dangerous nomination?
Thank you,
Alex Lawson
