SOCIAL INSECURITY view story
Monday, November 15, 2004
EDWARD J. CROWDER - - Connecticut Post
| Bridgeport resident Dwayne Ayer would rather have a bird in the hand than one in the bush when it comes to his future Social Security benefits.
The 21-year-old is counting on Social Security to be around when he hits retirement age in 2050
eight years after the government predicts the program will no longer be able to fully pay the promised benefits.
But he distrusts a proposal President Bush believes could help shore up the program: letting workers set up private accounts where they can sock away part of their Social Security contributions.
