I’ll scream if Republicans ever try to privatize again
I’ll work to guarantee the retirement benefits our workers have earned.
Companies with defined benefit pension plans should be required to fund those plans fully. And if they go bankrupt, they should be forced to meet their obligations.
My wife’s family survived after her father’s death thanks to Social Security survivor benefits. If the Republicans in Washington ever try to privatize Social Security again, the only person who’ll scream louder than me will be Franni.
