What crisis? Social Security at risk
If the staff at the Christian Century is any indication, most younger Americans don’t expect much from Social Security. When the subject came up at lunch, all of the 20- and 30-somethings said they assume that they will have to pay into the system, but that the benefits won’t be there for them when they retire.
That view is, of course, just what President Bush would like younger people to hold: that they’re getting burned twice—now by a payroll reduction, later by a bankrupt program—and are better off on their own.
