Features: This book elaborates on the author's understanding of the problems in the current U.S. social insurance system for the elderly and proposes an action plan to resolve the crisis of the social insurance system in one go. It is a book about freedom, rights, and a dignified retirement, and the plan proposed in the book will benefit young people, retirees, their families, communities, and the nation. The book is divided into two parts, consisting of 17 chapters. Part I covers the following topics: the origins and operational status of social security systems in the U.S. and other countries; working individuals contributing to the social insurance system; retirees receiving pensions from the system; and the unstoppable population problem that will ultimately undermine the current system. In the second part of the book, the author provides a detailed analysis of the action plan, presents supporting evidence, and strives to demonstrate that the implementation of these plans will be effective.
