Congress is considering President Bush’s radical proposal to privatize Social Security - a dangerous move that could add trillions of dollars to the national debt and force significant cuts in current or future benefits - a risk not worth taking.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has stated that if no changes are made to the current system, Social Security will be able to rely on its trust funds for nearly four decades!

Assemblyman Cusick knows how important Social Security benefits are for so many Staten Island families. That’s why he sponsored an Assembly resolution urging Congress to protect Social Security (K.252).
