Hillary has yet to endorse Social Security expansion. She may not.
Hillary's position on retirement security, taken from her web site reads:
4. Build savings and retire with dignity Working families should be able to save throughout their lives so that they can send their kids to college and retire with dignity. We will defend Social Security from Republican attempts to cut or privatize the program. And we will explore ways to enhance Social Security to meet new realities, particularly for women.I chafe at the subtle suggestion that our so-called "entitlement" Social Security, does not provide "dignity." These are a weasel words that I associate with the GOP, not a Democratic Candidate for President. Am I to be embarrassed by the handout? As if I did not pay (invest) into that fund all those years?
Lambert Strether has written an article for NakedCapitalism, connecting the dots and discussing a likely Clinton retirement with dignity plan, a parallel worker-funded retirement "enhancement" managed by this nation's prodigiously greedy and amoral financial services. What could go wrong? Check out California's public pension debacle or the unfolding New Jersey scandals.
If you are concerned about the future of Social Security, then today's article in NakedCapitalism is a must read.
Let's just expand Social Security. Simple.
