All right, so I read through the SS info on EPI.
First, the "issue guide" suffers from the same aversion to the truth as the article that started this whole debate. Many of the claims made in the article (from the thread starter) are identical to claims made in the "issue guide" compiled by EPI.
That, in and of itself, makes me wonder who really is behind this propoganda.
anyways...
As to ROI's in a death spiral and ratios nearing 1:1, the "issue guide" completely avoids the issue. I didn't see one reference to these problems that are very core to the problem/crisis/whatever that is Social Security. The very ommission of these problems makes the whole "guide" suspect to me--i.e. why avoid 'em, its not like nobody is discussing them and they are hidden problems.
It does, however, have really good info on the program itself, so, if you want to bone up on what SS is, it is a good read.
