The Social Security Myth
Violet WoolfWhat the myths about Social Security are and what the reality shows
|The Myths
The Social Security myths -- the specific claims that the specific programme is going bankrupt, that the specific trust fund has been raided, and that the specific younger workers will receive nothing -- are the accountability journalism of the specific political claims whose inaccuracy the specific programme reality requires documenting.
The Reality
The reality: the specific trust fund whose depletion the specific trustees report projects and whose consequence is the specific 80 percent payment reduction rather than the specific zero; and the specific fix whose specific cost the specific payroll tax increase whose percentage the specific actuarial analysis specifies would cover.
