There is no crisis for Social Security
There is no crisis for Social Security funding, in spite of what we hear from politicians and news media. Nancy Altman of Social Security Works explains why we keep hearing about this phony crisis in this conversation with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick. Altman has been studying Social Security for thirty years and is the author of The Battle for Social Security: From FDR’s Vision to Bush’s Gamble.
(The graph shows that by 2023, the Social Security surplus is estimated to grow to $4.3 trillion.)
