About me
- Andrew G. Biggs
- I am a Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, where my work focuses on Social Security policy. Previously I held several positions within the Social Security Administration, including Deputy Commissioner for Policy and principal Deputy Commissioner. Prior to that I was a Social Security Analyst at the Cato Institute. In 2005 I worked on Social Security reform at the White House National Economic Council, and in 2001 I was on the staff of the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security. My Bachelor's degree is from the Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have Master's degrees from Cambridge University and the University of London and a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and Political Science. I can be contacted at andrew.biggs @ aei.org.

"One would think that my natural rudeness would make me well-suited for the "Jane, you ignorant slut" format of TV news, but for whatever reason I find it hard to interrupt enough. Next time I'll just talk straight through the segment, regardless of what everybody else does."
I think that would be a big mistake. Overall you came across as authoritative and level-headed precisely because you didn't interrupt and your points were always substantive. You did well.
Much appreciated!
