UNDERDOG: THE BEST PROGRAM EVER DEVISED BY A POLITICIAN ! SOCIAL SECURITY !

Social Security ~ Medicare You Better Keep it Working !

Politicians from both parties are getting behind a plan to dismantle our Social Security system, leaving younger workers facing the worst benefit cuts. We can stop it by bringing the contents of this plan to light in a public discussion with its co-author, Alan Simpson.

I have seen my employers cut back on their retirement benefits, even as the value of their 401(k) and investments has plummeted. I also worry about my peers with student loans who are still struggling to find a job. That is why I realize that Social Security is more critical for young people than ever. We deserve a plan to close Social Security’s modest funding gap that reflects the economic reality we face, and maintains, or even increases Social Security’s modest benefits, while ensuring that they can be paid to today’s young and eventually, their children.

The Bowles-Simpson plan would pull our Social Security system apart brick by brick. Its change to the benefit formula would decimate middle class benefits, undermining the very fairness that has made the system so successful and popular. In fact, for some young workers, the Bowles-Simpson plan would cut benefits more than if Congress took no action whatsoever.For me this would mean a cut of $2,000 a year. Assuming that I earn the average wage over a 35-year career, my benefits would be cut more than 13 percent at whatever age I choose to claim benefits.

But no amount of bullying or bigotry can silence those of us who are concerned about what his plan’s Social Security cuts would do to Americans of all ages. If the Bowles-Simpson plan is so good for young people, Mr. Simpson should be able to explain it to us in person, where the public can judge for itself. I am leading a group of 40 Social Security experts under the age of 40 in challenging Senator Simpson to a public discussion of his plan. At first Simpson agreed to a public discussion – but now he’s backing out. What is Simpson so afraid of ?
