New Hampshire Citizens for a Sound Economy (NH CSE) State Director Chuck McGee announced today that Dr. Jose Pinera will be in New Hampshire on the evening of September 15th with US Senator John Sununu to discuss the future of Social Security at the Saint Anselm College Institute of Politics.

“We are honored that the champion of market-based pension reform will be joining us on the 15th of September and know that his presentation will help us move forward in promoting Social Security reform,” said McGee. “Dr. Pinera is recognized world-wide as an expert on Social Security and his story of how he saved the Chilean Social Security system is amazing.”

NH CSE and For Our Grandchildren have partnered in New Hampshire to inject the issue of Social Security Reform into the Presidential Primary. The free and open presentation at the Institute of Politics marks the fourth event in the “Choose Your Future” Social Security Reform tour.

Distinguished senior fellow José Piñera is co-chairman of Cato’s Project on Social Security Choice. As Chile’s secretary of labor and social security, he was the architect of that country’s successful privatization of its pension system. As founder and president of the International Center for Pension Reform, Piñera now advises governments throughout the world on the establishment of privatized pension systems. He is also chairman of Proyecto Chile 2010, a Chilean free-market think tank. He received an M.A. and a Ph.D. (1974) in economics from Harvard University.

Barring votes in Washington, US Senator John Sununu will be on hand to introduce Dr. Pinera and make remarks. The free presentation begins at 7pm and the public is invited.

“The ‘Choose Your Future’ is gaining momentum with each and every event and we are looking forward to having Dr. Pinera come to New Hampshire and highlight the issue of Social Security reform. When it is all said and done we believe the candidates for president will have little choice but to address this issue,” concluded McGee.
