Social Security

CCJ has fought and will continue to fight against any proposal by the Bush Administration’s Commission on Social Security to privatize or move any part of the trust funds into the stock market.  CCJ has been educating people about what Social Security privatization would really mean: a 40% cut in guaranteed Social Security benefits, an increase in the retirement age, and the endangerment of survivor and disability benefits.  CCJ will actively oppose diverting any Social Security revenues to fund private investment accounts or substituting private investment accounts for any portion of Social Security’s guaranteed benefits.
