About the Author:
The 70-year-old Social Security program has been widely successful—so much so that the average American is now supported by Social Security for 20 years. But that widespread success also has a dark side: It means that program failure would be devastating. Social Security faces grave funding problems and significant changes are likely. Are we ready for some hard choices?
Steven G. Livingston, Ph.D., is professor of political science and a senior research associate in the Business and Economic Research Center at Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN.
