Social Security under the gun

the long version

"Teaching, not preaching, Arthur Benavie gives readers the tools necessary to make decisions about Social Security that they and their families will not regret. The U.S. public has been given false information on this issue, told that Social Security is going bankrupt and that unless it is reformed our children will be impoverished supporting the elderly. Arthur Benavie refutes these claims. While it is true that our public pension system can be improved, this book separates widely accepted economic facts from personal value judgements, providing an invaluable guide to understanding and making informed decisions about one of our most important social welfare systems."--BOOK JACKET.
