Boomers not buying Social Security 'hype'

“This survey shows that in spite of long-running and well-financed campaigns to convince the American people that Social Security is in “crisis”, they’re just not buying it,” says Barbara B. Kennelly, the committee’s president and CEO. “Social Security is not bankrupting the nation and is in fact keeping millions from poverty; especially as retirees’ have seen their healthcare costs skyrocket, savings evaporate, home values plummet during this recession. The long-term challenges facing Social Security are modest and manageable. Baby boomers understand this and overwhelmingly support changes that strengthen benefits for the future.”
