  • The Shadows of the Crisis: Past and Future [View article]
    Social Security was never intended to function as a fully funded retirement plan. It works by having future workers pay for the unfunded benefits afforded to present retirees. Obviously there will be problems if there are not enough workers at some future point in time to pay for the benefits of those who have retired.

    The US is a good country, rule of law, prosperity, opportunities for advancement in an open society, so on and so forth.

    The most logical answer would be to encourage immigration and rely on the energy, enthusiasm and productivity of new citizens to fund Social Security.
