A brainchild of the late German Chancellor, Otto von Bismark in the late 19th century, calls to privatize Social Security have been gaining strength in recent years, mainly by conservatives and Republicans, painting a picture of the lack of sustainability of the program without continuous tax increase and benefits reduction, owing to the declining birth rates of the country, which is crucial in the pay-as-you-go model of the program.
This is countered by the liberals and democrats, citing Paul Krugman, our economic Nobel Laureate, who maintains that an additional revenue injection of 0.54% of the national GDP, which is less than 3% of our annual Federal spending, is sufficient to cope with any potential systemic decline in the number of contributors and maintain a healthy long term status of the program that is currently aiding over 53 million Americans every month.
• I think that the Social Security program has been looted by unethical politicians.
God Bless America.
