Http://www.defendingthetruth.com/articles/4808-proposals-change-social-security-benefits.html
During many elections, we have heard proposals from politicians to alter or change Social Security benefits. In this paper, I'm going to research and analyze these proposals to find out whether or not they would be beneficial to the Social Security fund, how it will affect all of us in the future, and the current beneficiaries who receive Social Security.
"The key problem for Social Security is that, as the population ages, soon there will not be enough people paying Social Security taxes to provide benefits for every retired person." (Dilulio & Wilson 486). This is why so many politicians have proposed changes to the current system. The people in my generation might not see any benefits when it's our time to retire. "In 1950, there were 16 workers to support every one beneficiary of Social Security; today, there are only 3.3 workers supporting every Social Security beneficiary." (White House). If Social Security stays unchanged at this rate, Social Security will be paying out more than it takes in. If we ever reach this stage we will be left with two problems, a lot of people paying into the system now will be cut off of Social Security, or the government will borrow more money to pay the beneficiaries, which will increase the national debt.
"Unless otherwise stated, payment levels apply equally to aged, blind, and disabled persons." (State assistance programs for SSI recipients, 3) I believe that if the Social Security fund only funded beneficiaries who are aged, we would not have such a low number today of 3.3 workers supporting every Social Security beneficiary. "The Budget Enforcement Act, for example, excluded the receipts and disbursements of Social Security from the President's budget and the congressional budget resolution. Programs that have been excluded like this are called "off-budget"." (Collender 12)
