Social Security: 3 New York Times Articles

Abstract: 6 pages in length. For those who are counting on receiving Social Security as they reach retirement age, as well as those who have already been receiving checks for some time, there is a significant sense of vulnerability. What if the system fails and there is not enough money to pay everyone who has already paid into it? Despite the fact that the Social Security trust fund will remain solvent until 2029, that does not give the up-and-coming generations any sense of security to know that they may represent the line that gets drawn in the proverbial sand. If fixing a past mess of poor investments, coupled with an overload on the system, will incur even more taxes and less benefits for those who held up their end of the bargain, then what incentive will there be for people to want to continue paying into the Social Security system?
