Greenspan urges quick action to save Social Security
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan called for prompt steps to rescue Social Security. He warned that delaying action will require larger tax increases or bigger benefit cuts, with trust funds projected to deplete by 2029 and a $3 trillion long-term shortfall by 2070. He suggested indexing benefits to CPI is overreach and supported partial privatization as a viable option, urging timely notice for future retirees.
