A Seat At The Table
The B.E.S.T. Social Security
Modernization (Mod) Plan (BEST Mod Plan) wants a seat at the table when any
discussions about the future of Social Security take place. BEST wants to make
certain that “modernization” infuses new sources of revenue into the program,
that Social Security taxation becomes more progressive and fairer, that
benefits are not reduced, that the retirement age is not increased, that the
program is not privatized, that the program is utilized to improve the U.S. economy,
and that no decisions are made that, in the long term, hurt the popularity and
the future of the U.S. Social Security programs.
BEST wants to discuss and
debate the relevant issues and is available for presentations about the BEST
Mod Plan before civic groups and Congress and Congressional staffs and committees.
No one should forget that Social Security's programs and the monthly benefits that it pays out each
month are an intrinsic part of the U. S.
Since it is a comprehensive
plan, it is extensive and has some complexities that will require several posts
on this blog to fully explain.
The BEST Mod Plan has
existed for several years and has been sent around to numerous economists,
political leaders, and think tanks.
It is now time to take it to
the next level.
Our next two posts will dig
out information from the archives which will provide you with some useful
background information.
