Social Security Works – And Needs Expansion

imgresHere’s a plug for the one of the highly anticipated non-fiction books coming out early this year: Social Security Works! – Why Social Security Isn’t Going Broke and How Expanding It Will Help Us All, by Nancy J. Altman and Eric R. Kingson.

I found it to be an outstanding and comprehensive description/analysis of our most popular and important government program. I urge everyone to read this and internalize it. The forces on the Right that have always been against Social Security are alive and well and coming after you! They want your retirement income, and they will stop at nothing to try and get it. We must fight them with everything we’ve got.

Especially handy is a section where the authors refute all the usual lies about Social Security – that we can’t afford it, that it’s going broke, that it’s not sustainable, that it’s unfair, that the demographics don’t work, etc. They take all these “conventional wisdom” lies and half-truths, unpacking them one by one with the reality of the situation – which is, in fact, this most popular government program in the nation’s history is on very solid footing. Highly recommended.
