Krauthammer on Social Security and three practical steps to fix it
09/16/2011
Krauthammer says Social Security is a Ponzi scheme when we look at the definition of Ponzi schemes. The definition says in a Ponzi scheme the payments of people joining now are paid out to people who joined earlier, leaving little for future payments. This is happening to Social Security. In 1940, after Roosevelt signed it into law, the life expectancy was 62 and the retirement age was set at 65, there were 160 workers to support one retired person. Today life expectancy is closer to 80 and there are 2 workers to support one retired person. Well don't just say its a Ponzi scheme, exercize common sense and update Social Security for these facts, Krauthammer tells U.S. presidential candidates. Updating for the facts today means raising the retirement age, adjusting cost of living measures, and means testing the rich for benefits.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
