Concord Coalition Releases Review of Bush and Gore Proposals

July 14, 2000

The Concord Coalition released a Report Outlining Gore & Bush Social Security Reform Proposals. While highlighting the good points of each plan, the authors conclude that "neither plan even attempts to rein in the long-term cost of the program. Moreover, it is questionable whether either would result in any net new savings since neither provides new funding by raising new revenues or reducing promised benefits."

To read the candidate's own words on Social Security, see the Social Security Candidates Page.

"The largely Cato Institute-staffed presidential commission owes its existence to the Cato Institute itself. For the last quarter of a century, the Washington, D.C.-based libertarian think tank has been campaigning for the privatization of Social Security."
