Summary:

Provides a background policy discussion on social security, personal savings, and the effect on the economy. Describes the projected shortfall of social security revenues in 2017 and its impact as influenced by factors of household saving and the economy. Outlines three major types of social security reform policy proposals, including a shift toward a fully-funded social security program; a shift toward a privatized, defined contribution plan; and investment of social security trust funds in private securities.
