A man that the New York Times Editorial Board has called “a zealous advocate of privatizing Social Security” was nominated to the Social Security Advisory Board!

The Board advises the President, Congress, and the commissioner of Social Security on policy. But Andrew Biggs has a dangerous history of seeking to dismantle the program.

As a reminder, Andrew Biggs:

• Was instrumental in the Bush admin’s 2005 attempt to privatize Social Security

• Advocated for raising the retirement age in 2013

• Supports means-testing Social Security

• Has dismissed the looming retirement income crisis as a “non issue”

• And supported Donald Trump’s move to unilaterally defund Social Security

Social Security Works is mobilizing to block this dangerous nomination. Can you sign our urgent petition to keep this Social Security privatizer off the Advisory Board?
