9780742562431: Securing America's Future: A Bold Plan to Preserve and Expand Social Security

Synopsis

Since its adoption in 1935, the Social Security Act has been a great success, operating efficiently, never missing a payment, and providing economic security for retired and disabled Americans and their dependents. Nevertheless, the system has been the subject of fierce attack - not least from President George W. Bush.

Securing Americas Future counters the attacks on Social Security and makes clear that this important program is not in crisis. The book proposes a series of modest changes to improve the program, including reforms to enhance Social Security and increase its value to Americans. Securing Americas Future is an important book for students and scholars of public policy and all Americans interested in the reality of our Social Security system.
