Social Security debate

Good reading for now, and future reference, on the subject of Social Security reform:

  • Richard A. Posner (Univ. of Chicago Law School) on Social Security Reform
  • Gary S. Becker (Univ. of Chicago Business School) on "Why I Support a Privatized Individual Account Social Security System"
  • FactCheck.Org on Bush's State of the Union: Social Security "Bankruptcy?" (That term could give the wrong idea. Bush also makes private accounts sound like a sure thing, which they are not.)
  • FactCheck.Org: MoveOn.org Social Security Ad (Liberal group's ad falsely claims Bush plan would cut benefits 46 percent.)
  • FactCheck.Org: Social Security Ads: Risk or Protection? (Pro-Bush group's first TV ad states the problem correctly. But the AARP uses a misleading photo.)
  • FactCheck.Org: Does Social Security Really Face an $11 Trillion Deficit? (Bush and Cheney say yes. But actuaries say the figure is "likely to mislead" the public on the system's true financial state.)
  • Barack Obama's (U.S. Senator D-Ill.) Retirement Security Plan

It's not easy.
