Social Security Under the Gun: What Every Citizen Needs to Know - Paperback

by Arthur Benavie (Author)

With all of the competing information in the news these days about how--and whether--to reform Social Security, how is a concerned citizen to know which is the right path? This book is the answer. Arthur Benavie gives readers the tools necessary to make decisions on this subject that they and their children will not regret. The US public has been offered false information on this issue, told that Social Security is going bankrupt unless it is reformed immediately. Benavie refutes these arguments and separates the economic facts from ideological value judgments. This book is an invaluable guide to understanding and making informed decisions about one of our most important social welfare systems.
