The 2002 US Senate race in Louisiana was a heated battle between Democrat incumbent Mary Landrieu, who narrowly won election in 1996, and Republican Elections Commissioner Suzanne Haik Terrell, both of New Orleans. This was a rather well-watched race, as the runoff occurred after the November election day, and well-known national politicians from both parties came to support their candidates. In this attack ad, Landrieu attacks Terrell for wanting to privatize Social Security and promises to reform it without raising taxes.
Social Security is not solvent. New congressional estimates say the trust fund that supports Social Security disability will run out of money by 2017, leaving the program unable to pay full benefits, unless Congress acts. About two decades later, Social Security’s much larger retirement fund is projected to run dry as well. It's time to REFORM ALL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANT PROGRAMS NOW -- ELSE WE LOSE THEM! How about the first step to get millionaires off SS and Medicare?
