John,
Donald Trump and his advisors swear up and down that raiding Social Security’s finances won’t do anything to harm the overall Social Security system. But top Republican strategists see it as an opportunity to achieve their long-held dreams.
Andrew Biggs, a key architect of George W. Bush’s scheme to privatize Social Security, published an op-ed that proposes an endgame for Trump: Privatizing Social Security!1 And given Trump’s love for Wall Street, it’s a real possibility if Trump is reelected.
Biggs has the ear of some of Trump’s closest advisors, Larry Kudlow and Stephen Moore. Together, we’re making it clear: if not for Trump, there is NO Social Security crisis! Chip in $7 today to save Social Security from Trump!
Before he ran for president, Trump called for privatizing Social Security.2 His single-minded obsession with eliminating Social Security’s dedicated funding, which would completely drain Social Security’s $2.9 trillion trust fund by 2023, has no economic rationale other than to destroy our Social Security system.
Wall Street is salivating at the thought of privatizing Social Security. They want nothing more than to get their hands on millions of private accounts that they can charge exorbitant fees to.
Together, we’re going to save Social Security from Trump! We’ve held the line in Congress, forcing Trump to act unilaterally. And together, we’re going to force Congress to overrule Trump’s executive order! Chip in $7 today to save Social Security!
Together, we’re going to stop Trump and his Wall Street allies from destroying our Social Security system.
Thanks,
