(Timonium, MD)- Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) will hold a Congressional Forum on Social Security in Randallstown on Monday, March 14th, 2005.
Congressman Ruppersberger believes we need to modernize Social Security but he does not believe the Bush Privatization Plan is the answer. The Privatization Plan will cost two to three million dollars to set up the private accounts and will reduce the dependable, guaranteed monthly payment for Seniors. Congressman Ruppersberger believes the government should not divert your hard-earned tax money away from the system and reduce your benefit.
"I am fighting in Congress to modernize Social Security to guarantee that it will be there for the retirees of today and tomorrow. I believe Congress should stop borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund and should consider expanding tax credits for IRA's and 401K's. Congress should also look into layering personal investment accounts on top of the existing Social Security System," said Congressman Ruppersberger.
