Social Security Solvency: Issues & Projections

Each year the Trustees of the Social Security trust fund report on the current and projected financial status of the program. This book discusses these reports, Social Security''''s history and its long-term projections. Social Security''''s annual surpluses of tax income over expenditures are expected to fall sharply this year and to stay about constant in 2010 because of the economic recession, and to rise only briefly before declining and turning to cash flow deficits beginning in 2016 that grow as the baby-boom generation retires. The book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access. See more
