Description

Without Social Security, the largest single source of income among Americans aged 65 and older, millions of people would fall below the poverty line. But because of an aging population, the program now pays out much more than it takes in, putting it in danger of becoming a legalized pyramid scheme. Is it time to retire Social Security—or can the US still find a way out of this debt crisis?   Join Steve Odland and guest Lori Esposito Murray, Former President, Committee for Economic Development, to find out why this long-standing issue hasn’t been addressed sooner, why Congress may be more ready to tackle it now, and what solutions might just work.
