"On top of the huge budget deficits linked to the president's tax cuts, this borrowing would raise interest rates, inhibit economic growth, and diminish the value of younger workers' stocks. The Bush plan, besides its harm to the economy, would hurt the very people it is supposed to help."
Boston Globe, 12/5/04

"Young people should be concerned most of all by the proposed change, because they're the ones who will be forced to repay all of that money in their future paychecks."
Atlanta Journal Constitution, 12/3/04

"Mr. Bush's tax cuts, his big spending on the Iraq war and the continued budget deficits run by Congress mean that replenishing or reforming Social Security will mean even more deficit spending."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 12/11/04

"We do not believe the Social Security system is in any danger of collapse. It could be fixed with some tinkering."
Concord Monitor, 12/6/04

Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-ND)
