DNC Chairman Howard Dean: John McCain Wants to Privatize Social Security
June 13, 2008During a town hall meeting in New Hampshire yesterday, John McCain told the voters, "I am not for privatizing Social Security. I never have been. I never will be." But as a new video released by the Democratic National Committee shows, Senator McCain clearly does support privatizing Social Security. In 2004, Senator McCain said, "Without privatization, I don't see how you can possibly, over time, make sure that young Americans are able to receive Social Security benefits." In 2005 Senator McCain hit the road with President Bush to help promote the President's failed effort to promote private accounts.
