Conservatives could care less whether the public thinks their ideas are good or not. They want to force them on all of us. Ruy Teixeira writes at the Center for American Progress about public opinion trends on Social Security privatization.

He writes:

This was a bad idea when President George W. Bush was pushing it
back in 2005, but it’s an even worse one now. No wonder the public
opposes it so vigorously. In a CNN poll last weekend, just 36 percent
said they favored a proposal to allow workers to invest a portion of
their Social Security taxes, while 62 percent opposed the proposal.

It’s about time for conservatives to admit that dog just won’t hunt. The American people want more security, not less.

Isn't it time for conservatives to abandon their fantasy plan for ruining Social Security?

Since the inception of Social Security conservatives have opposed the program. They fought its inception. They fought its expansion to add disability insurance and survivors insurance. And, they've been trying to force people to privatize Social Security by putting it in the stock market. Yes, that stock market--the one that has fallen dramatically in the last few weeks.

During that entire time there has been unified oppositin to privatization from Democrats and progressives who have been holding Wall Street and conservatives accountable.

Opposing Social Security privatization. Standing up to Wall Street. That's accountability. Over the next few weeks Accountable America will expand its agenda to focus on big issues. And Social Securit is issue number one.
