Social Security
Social Security is the cornerstone of retirement security in the U.S. today. A third of Americans depend on the program for almost all their retirement income; without it, one-in-five would have no retirement income. But the program so many depend on simply cannot afford what it promises today's workers, and faces a shortfall of more than $4.6 trillion over the next 75 years. Reforms are desperately needed.
