We could have gone with a more clickbait headline like Social Security IS Going Broke. But we resisted the temptation. Instead, Brian's going to give an in-depth look on this episode at all the current social security reform proposals on the table. He'll give us the actual benefit to the deficit each solution would deliver and evaluate the financial and political fallout of these items. It's interesting to see all the possible solutions, but a little scary to think how it might impact our wallets and portfolios in the future. The first half of the episode is a primer on social security history and the unique planning problems today's retirees face.
