Episode notes

I think it's one of the more pressing issues and concerns, not just for the United States, but for the global economy. If the US doesn't resolve this massive whole talking about social security going bankrupt in the next 12 years, we may not be able to turn it around. I don't think it's right to pull their rug out from under them. But again, this is an issue that I need to spend more time looking at and studying. Maybe the next time I come back here, I better answer for you guys.
