This book seeks to understand the politics of deservingness for
future Social Security reforms through an interpretive policy
analysis of the 2005 Social Security privatization debates. What
does it mean for politics and policymaking that Social Security
recipients are widely viewed as deserving of the benefits they
receive? In the 2005 privatization debates, Congress framed Social
Security in exclusively positive terms, often in opposition to
welfare, and imagined their own beloved family members as
recipients. Advocates for private accounts sought to navigate the
politics of deservingness by dividing the "we" of social insurance
to a "me" of private investment and a "them" of individual rate of
return in order to justify the introduction of private accounts
into Social Security. Fiscal stress on the program will likely
bring Social Security to the policy agenda soon. Understanding the
politics of deservingness will be central to navigating those
debates.
