Study #220 - Investment-Based Social Security: Saving Social Security for Our Parents, for Our Children

The exploding cost of Social Security threatens to become the greatest financial crisis in American history. The unfunded liability of the system is twice as large as our national debt and exceeds the combined cost of all the wars fought in our nation's history. More than a financial crisis, the current Social Security system is fast becoming a human tragedy that will force us to choose between economic opportunity for our children and retirement security for our parents.

Saving Social Security requires that we save and invest now rather than tax and borrow later. And more than money is at stake. Save today and we save our children's dreams tomorrow. Invest today and we invest in our parents' security. Tax tomorrow and we diminish our children's future. Cut benefits tomorrow and we harden our parents' retirement.
