Tax them kids some more, we love free money – Today I was listening to C-Span on my satellite radio and they were broadcasting an AARP rally in celebration of Social Security’s 70th birthday. I was hoping to find some commentary at Social Security Choice, but here’s the summary. Everybody loves Social Security, at least everybody at the AARP rally. And every speaker recognized that the program faces a long-term solvency problem. Yet not a single person proposed a single action to address the problem. Oh there was much suggestion that a “bipartisan solution” should be drafted, but the AARP wasn’t prepared to do much beyond criticizing personal accounts. It was depressing, to say the least.
