Kerry: Bush would cut Social Security benefits if re-elected
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. - Democrat John Kerry told voters in two states
Sunday that President Bush has a "January surprise" that would reduce
Social Security benefits up to 45%.
Kerry's new offensive is based on an article Sunday in The New York
Times Magazine. In it, Bush is quoted as telling major donors at a
lunch that in his second term, he would "come out strong after my
swearing-in on fundamental tax reform, tort reform, privatizing of
Social Security."
Bush has proposed letting younger workers, whose contributions pay for
benefits for current retirees, put part of their money into personal
accounts. Kerry said that would be a disaster for senior citizens,
baby boomers and anyone who is counting on Social Security.
"I will never privatize Social Security, I will never cut the
benefits, and I won't raise the retirement age," Kerry pledged to
thousands of supporters at a rally here.
Earlier Sunday, he promised the same to 1,500 African-American
parishioners at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Columbus, Ohio. Polls
show both states, two of the largest electoral prizes, close or tied.
Early voting starts today in Florida.
Kerry said Bush's plan would "blow a $2 trillion hole in Social
Security" and, according to the bipartisan Congressional Budget
Office, translate into a 25% to 45% cut in benefits. He released an ad
Sunday making the same points, to run in states his aides declined to
name.
Bush outlined the gist of his plan in the pair's final debate last
week and said it would be "a vital issue" in his second term.
Kerry said in the debate that he would bolster Social Security by
creating more jobs and cutting the deficit, as President Clinton did
during the 1990s. If the program ever became endangered later on, he
said, he would convene experts, find a solution, and "we'll make
whatever adjustment is necessary."
Asked Sunday why Kerry was bringing up Social Security at the end of a
close campaign that could hinge once again on Florida, with its huge
elderly population, Kerry senior adviser Bob Shrum said, "It's timed
to the fact that we looked at The New York Times Sunday magazine
yesterday."
Kerry was scheduled to give a speech today in Tampa laying out what he
views as Bush's shortcomings on health care and his own proposals to
fix problems. Bush planned a major speech on terrorism in Marlton,
N.J.
