President Biden has nominated a pro-privatization of Social Security goon named Andrew Biggs to the traditionally bipartisan Social Security Advisory Board that oversees the Social Security system. Biggs has been a longtime proponent of 401k retirement plans and raising the retirement age in addition to dismissing the retirement crisis and blaming older Americans for causing problems with the Social Security system.

The move comes as Republicans get ready to push cuts to Social Security and Medicare, if they end up winning control of Congress during the November’s midterms, as expected. The development suggests that there could soon be a coordinated push in Washington to cut the Social Security program, which provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to 66 million Americans. On May 13, Biden chose to nominate Andrew Biggs, a fellow at the right-wing American Enterprise Institute think tank, for a Republican seat on the bipartisan Social Security Advisory Board, which was created in 1994 to consult the president and Congress about the Social Security system. For years, Biggs has been a vocal critic of expanded Social Security and workers’ right to a secure, stable retirement free from the vagaries of the stock market. He has dismissed the retirement crisis as a non-issue and as recently as 2020 blamed problems with the Social Security system on “older Americans’ game of chicken.” And two decades ago, Biggs worked on a Bush administration commission that pushed to privatize Social Security." *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
