Jim Neal on Social Security

Democratic Senate Challenger

Protect Social Security from privatization schemes

We must protect Social Security from privatization schemes that would turn your Social Security check over to the same sort of folks that created the sub-prime mortgage crisis.

Over the past two decades, it has become commonplace for corporations to cut back and default on pension obligations, and Americans face increasing job insecurity. I would never support a reckless financial strategy that exposes retirees to the loss of the guaranteed Social Security benefit they worked hard to earn.
