The Treasury Secretary is talking about privatizing Social Security. We can’t let him. As a co-sponsor of legislation that expands Social Security, calling on Republicans to do the right thing.

No surprise, Trump officials haven't thought through what privatizing Social Security would mean. There are a lot of handy carpenters among retirees.

“Privatization Proposals: Privatization proposals suggest diverting some or all of the mandated payroll tax contributions into private accounts that individuals would manage themselves. These accounts would function similarly to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) or 401(k)”

The con: These include the risk of monopolies, potential job losses, reduced public control over essential services, increased social inequality, and a potential short-term focus on profits over public interest.

No privatization. No use of crypto or any of 🍊’s fiat money to pay us monthly. No incentivizing opt-in to crypto or any online, privately owned finance portal. No direct deposits to non FDIC ‘institutions’ or social media based entities. Make that shit a non-starter.

PLEASE TEAM UP AGAINST THIS. HAVE A ROCK SOLID PLAN. BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE HAVE YET TO LEGISLATE AGAINST WHAT HAPPENED IN EITHER THE DOT-COM BUST AND THE 2008 GREAT FINANCIAL CATASTROPHE. THEY WANT TO DESTROY ANY REAL SECURITY WORKING PEOPLE HAVE. DO NOT LET THEM HAVE THEIR WAY. NO. NO. NO. NO.

So you're calling on the Republicans, who've happily facilitated an actual fascist takeover of the USA, to "do the right thing"? Who says the Democrats aren't taking this seriously enough?

My question: "Scott, you took a $5B hedge fund to redemptions and closure, in a handful of years. Why should I listen to you about anything related to Soc Sec?" Also, I was a mutual fund portfolio manager for 20 years. Privatization of Soc Sec is a bad idea.

Republicans haven’t done the “right thing” since Reagan and they won’t now. Time to play their game and do it better, faster, bolder and meaner!

You're so right! For anyone thinking we are still playing same-old politics as usual, they have not been paying attention. This isn't one of those pendulum swings to the right, this is a complete dismantling of all of our rights and everything that America was built on - done so by criminals & cons.

Listen up, Democrats, MAGA Republicans are playing a different game, you’re losing or you decide to play their game still abiding the Rule of Law. This will be the hardest game you have ever played. Fight for all Americans.

Do the only right thing available in these times and cross the floor to the Dems. There must be deep cracks in your ranks after Eppstein / ICE / Golf Cheato / Military mobilized against its Citizens. Take as many colleagues with you as you can because you know the 🍊💩 doesn’t want mid-term voting.
