HILLARY CLINTON

Hillary: Privatization Is 'Not the Answer To Anything.'

WASHINGTON — Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton promised retirees that if elected president she will not cut Social Security benefits, raise the retirement age or privatize the taxpayer-funded system.
"This is the most successful domestic program in the history of the United States," Clinton said to applause from seniors gathered in Washington to push their policy agenda. "When I'm president, privatization is off the table because it's not the answer to anything."

Well, let's see, when raising the retirement age, cutting benefits, and private accounts are taken off the table, what's left? You're pretty much left with the option of bringing more money in, a move more commonly known as tax increases.

Privatization is "not the answer to anything." Well, we know where we stand with her - government ever bigger, ever more controlling, ever more powerful, ever more expensive.
