Regardless of the economic effects (which are up for debate), nobody will care. Privatizing social security is a political third rail. As is privatizing Medicare and public education.

Combined with Nathan's extremely inoffensive demeanor and lack of insane views on hot-button social issues (He's admitted to playing 'both sides' often on culture war issues) means the map is not going to be good for Vosem...

I vote for Nathan and he wins in a landslide. Frankly, no other issue matters here - no candidate who utters the phrase "privatize social security" is going to ever step foot in the White House.

...George W. Bush already did! (Here's a source showing Republicans campaigning on the issue in the 2002 midterms: https://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/01/us/bush-renews-push-to-partly-privatize-social-security.html). The third rail is cuts to net benefits, but it's easy to show privatization wouldn't cause this (and even easier to just confidently assert it).

And the country's gotten significantly more fiscally conservative since then.

(But also I would try to center my campaign around criminal-justice issues, because I think that's where Nathan is most out-of-step with ordinary people).



W wanted partial privatization. You want complete elimination of public schools, medicare, medicaid and social security and replacing it with 'your on your own'.
