(Washington, D.C.)- Maryland - Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) will hold three Congressional Forum on Social Security across Maryland's 2nd Congressional District during the week of April 4th to 8th, 2005.
Congressional Forum on Social Security in Pasadena 10:00am, Monday, April 4th, 2005 Pasadena Senior Center 4103 Mountain Road Pasadena, MD 21122
Congressional Forum on Social Security in Cherry Hill 11:00am, Tuesday, April 5th, 2005 Cherry Hill Senior Center 606 Cherry Hill Road, Suite 201 Baltimore, MD 21225
Congressional Forum on Social Security in Belair Edison 9:00am, Friday, April 8th, 2005 Belair Edison Family Health Center 3120 Erdman Avenue Baltimore, MD 21213
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.
