| Description: |
A former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and an eminent economist tackle the biggest social issue of our time. |
| Synopsis: |
Of all the issues swirling around the 2008 election, the staggering projected costs for the upkeep of America's largest entitlement programs-Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid-loom with gathering intensity. Government revenues alone cannot solve the problem, but a solution must be found. In this book George P. Shultz and John B. Shoven take a practical-and optimistic-look at the issues at hand, offering an agenda for reform that will make these essential programs solvent. Drawing on a trove of original research, they take stock of the current situation, consider plans on offer from major thinkers in the field, and chart a course toward a system that provides income for the elderly and universal access to health care in ways that are fiscally sound. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to make an informed decision about the country's future. |
