Upcoming AEI event: “More Social Security or better Social Security?”

The American Enterprise Institute presents More or better? Rethinking Social Security for the 21st century Wednesday, January 15, 2014 | 12:30 - 2:00 p.m.   Social Security reform is back in the news, but this time it's about more than just fixing the program's finances. Both the left and the right are proposing structural changes to Social Security to better address the retirement needs of the 21st century. Many progressives support increasing Social Security benefits to address a perceived decline in retirement income security in America. Some conservatives, likewise, have proposed structural reforms designed to better target Social Security's resources and improve incentives to work and save. At this event, experts from the New America Foundation and AEI will assess reform proposals and discuss the best way forward. Details Wednesday, January 15, 2014 12:30 - 2:00 p.m. Lunch will be served.
