Privatization Pep Rally

[Michael Eisenscher]

I have not heard a recent position, but when the Commission reported out the
various proposals, the AFL-CIO was ready to settle for the Ball proposal,
which would have a portion of the SS fund invested in the market but with
all investments made by the government, not by individuals.  I have seen no
evidence that they have changed that position.  I criticized it when they
took that position and still believe it is a rank capitulation to the
privateers and political right.
