As S4 members prepare to rally outside Senator Lieberman's office we should remember some of his former remarks on Social Security:
"A remarkable wave of innovative thinking is advancing the concept of privatization, some personalization of retirement plans." Such a plan can "give people more confidence about what their retirement years will be like." His prediction: "I think in the end that individual control of part of the retirement/Social Security funds has got to happen."
We should also remember that if personal accounts had been created when Lieberman was a child today millions of workers would have access to instruments of wealth creation currently only enjoyed by the wealthy.
