John --
It's time for the newest installment
of Control What You Can.
Last week, as a part in our series on
tackling the national debt, we asked about where the government could
focus to get expenditures under control. It's no surprise that
reforming programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security was
a key area of focus.
This week, we're going to focus on Social
Security. Reforming that system has long been seen as the "third rail"
of politics. The program is so popular, and people (rightfully) feel
ownership of the system since they pay into it. Its relationship to
the budget, deficit, and debt is complex because of how it's
structured, but one thing is sure - on its current trajectory, it's
projected to run a shortfall, requiring the government to either cut
benefits, find money to fund benefits elsewhere, or reform the
system.
We're going to ask about the last option
- if you were in charge, which of the following reforms would you
consider first in reforming Social Security?
