Saving Social Security
指出美国社会保障计划面临长期赤字但可通过渐进式改革恢复财务健康,对关注社保改革的经济学者和政策制定者有参考价值。
Social Security is one of America's most successful government programs. It has helped millions of Americans avoid poverty in old age. To be sure, the program faces a long-term deficit and is in need of updating. But Social Security's long-term financial health can be restored: the projected deficit is small enough that it can be eliminated through a progressive reform that combines modest benefit reductions and revenue increases.
