Title
"Social Security" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the topic of social security earnings. AuCoin discusses how President Bush wanted younger workers to fund their social security benefits through the policy of privatization and the stock market. Had social security been privatized, AuCoin argues, Americans would be in a “lose-lose economics” situation. For example, according to AuCoin, Willshire 5000 had lost 50% of its value, while social security did not lose any value in a recent year. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in August 2002.
