GOPers tried this privatization of Social Security before, I think under Bush II. It was unpopular then and still is.
Yessir, this was a focal point in three calls to legislators earlier today. Quoting myself:
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Breibart News event attendees yesterday that the accounts trump’s disastrous Big Ugly bill establish could be “a backdoor to privatizing Social Security.” Here’s my view on that: No. George W. Bush tried this and it went down in flames, for good reason. We the People don’t need corporate meddling and profiting from a program that works. So no. Privatizing Social Security is unacceptable.
