A great book that informs the reader about the SS debate

The authors provided an easy to read text that gives the reader a basic understanding of Social Security - Old Age Insurance. They provided information of all the current initiatives as well as devoting an entire chapter to a critical review of the privatization plan. Excellent suggestions for reforming the current plan are given that make good sense to the reader. A must read for anyone who wants to be informed for the ongoing debate on Social Security.
