Title: Social Security in America is Collapsing
Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Dr. Mark Hendrickson
with The Institute for Faith and Freedom (www.FaithAndFreedom.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is Social Security in America running out of money? In the previous segment, Dr.
Hendrickson said: “We have not paid enough in our taxes to fund the level of
spending that has been going on and will continue to go on; that’s why the
system [will go] broke.”
Is there a “locked box” somewhere, just storing everyone’s Social
Security payments? NOPE.
People are living longer than they did when Social Security first began; there
were also more people working, paying into the system. Is life longevity and
fewer workers today adding more pressure to the system?
Are we headed toward a major problem with Social Security in America? Dr.
Hendrickson says: “The longer we wait, the more acute the imbalance fiscally
is going to be.”

Title: The Social Security Crisis
Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Romina Boccia
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Part 1 of 2
Decades ago, Washington politicians promised baby boomers medical and retirement benefits that are no longer affordable, because the programs were not designed in a way that actually protected taxpayers from the programs’ ever-increasing costs. The American people need to know the state of finances of the Social Security program so they can better understand why reform is absolutely essential.
Today, Romina Boccia will be explaining exactly what is happening to our nation’s Social Security program. Romina is a leading fiscal and economic expert at
The Heritage Foundation, focusing on government spending and the national debt.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
How much has the average person over the age of 55 saved for retirement?
What does the future look like over the next decade or two for Social Security?
Will elected officials simply raise taxes to pay off the IOU’s? Is this a good or bad idea?
Where is the money that we have all paid into Social Security? Is it in a lock-box somewhere? Or has the Federal Government spent it?
Who is at fault for this crisis – Republicans, or Democrats, or both? Romina will continue this discussion in the next segment…

Discussed by Romina Boccia
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Did the Social Security crisis begin with Roosevelt way back in 1935?
How would Romina “fix” Social Security? She has LOTS of suggestions! Listen in!
One suggestion, however, is not ideal and would cause quite an uproar on both
sides of the aisle. What is this suggestion and how does Terry feel about it?

Title: Please Pay Me When I Retire
Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Dr. Gary Welton
with www.VisionAndValues.org
FACT: 45% of people do not having any retirement savings. They expect to live solely on Social Security.
Life expectancy has never been better. Babies born in this decade are expected to live to an average age of 79. While this is great news for those who wish for a long and prosperous life, there is also a downside: Social Security is running out of money – fast. Right now, you may be 30-50 years old and not really worried about your retirement. But once you hit 65, you will be. Will there be enough money left in the pot to help take care of you and your spouse?
Dr. Gary Welton is the Assistant Dean for Institutional Assessment and Professor of Psychology at
Grove City College and the Center for Vision and Values (link found above). “The Social Security program was started with the assumption that people, on average, would need five years of income from the point they retire until their death,” Dr. Welton reveals. This number has almost doubled and therein lies the problem.
But what’s the solution? Dr. Welton says, “Even people who have planned for their retirement and set money aside are seeing their pension plans decimated.” Listen in as Dr. Welton gives some advice and encouragement for the future.
Dr. Welton’s op-ed on this issue can be found [here].

Title: Getting More from Social Security
Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Stacy Johnson
with Money Talks News (www.MoneyTalksNews.com)
Part 1 of 3
The next three segments are important for every person to listen to, no
matter your age. In this crazy and uncertain economy, the majority of us are
planning ahead, saving for retirement (if there is such a thing anymore). We
have a 401K. We save so much out of every paycheck.
But did you know that you can make money from Social Security NOW? Stacy
Johnson, with Money Talks News, has sixteen (16) ways to benefit from Social
Security BEFORE you retire. First, he says, “It’s important to pay attention to
your Social Security benefits starting at an early age.” The next thing that is
essential is working the maximum number of years possible. Listen in as he
explains why!
Stacy also suggests that you examine your family history when you contemplate
what age to retire. Have many people in your family died at an early age? Or
have they lived long, healthy lifetimes? Why does this matter? Stacy gives a
personal story of why this should be considered as well.

advice. If you have any questions, please contact a Social Security Tax Attorney

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Getting More from Social Security
Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Stacy Johnson
with Money Talks News (www.MoneyTalksNews.com)
Stacy Johnson continues to
discuss sixteen (16) ways to maximum the amount of benefits you can receive from
Social Security. In the first segment, he gave some non-legal advice on how long
you should work, when to start applying for benefits, and why you should check
on your benefits frequently.
What if your spouse was a “home manager” and did not work or worked very little
outside the home? Should they just go ahead and collect at the earliest possible
age or wait to collect half of the working spouse’s benefits? If this is all
making your eyes glaze over, listen in as Stacy explains in a simple way
how
this type of situations is best played out.
Stacy believes that one of the best ways to maximize your Social Security
benefits is to use a legal service. This is their job: to get you the most money
for your retirement. One great company is Social Security Choices found [here].
You can use the coupon code “moneytalks” for a $10
savings.

Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Stacy Johnson
with Money Talks News (www.MoneyTalksNews.com)
Stacy Johnson, the
money-saving guru, says that even he gets confused about Social Security
benefits and the when, the how, and the what if’s. It’s not an
easy thing to master! But don’t let that stop you from researching how to
maximize your benefits. Social Security tax attorneys are there to help you and
most are fairly inexpensive.
In this final segment, Stacy talks about the importance of paying off debt
before filing for Social Security benefits and retiring. You also have to watch
out for those pesky taxes. Yes, taxes! Stacy gives the details about this little
known fact, too.
Singles and couples alike must be aware of how much you make, and make sure your
income is increasing as you get closer to retirement age. Check out the helpful
links [here].

Title: News That's Too Good To Be True Part 1 of 2
Topic: Social Security
Discussed by Pamela Villarreal
with National Center For Policy Analysis wwwncpa.org
When President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) he wiped out $53 trillion of unfunded U.S. government liability. With the stroke of a pen, more than 60 percent of Medicare's long-term deficit vanished. It's all in the latest Medicare Trustees report. The news is too good. It's embarrassingly good. It's, well, unbelievable, says John C. Goodman, President, CEO and the Kellye Wright Fellow of the National Center for Policy Analysis. Taking a closer look, we see that not all sectors were treated equally by the PPACA. The pharmaceutical industry made out like bandits. Doctors took a bath. And the hospital industry got creamed. But what if you don't care about the lobbyists, the trade associations and the special interests? What if your main interest is in what kind of health care you're going to get, asks Goodman?

Title: News That's Too Good To Be True Part 2 of 2

Well, that's why there was a need for an alternative report -- one prepared by Medicare's actuaries. And according to this report, there's no such thing as a free lunch, says Goodman. For example:
- The Trustees report assumes Medicare doctor fees will be cut by 30 percent in the next three years and continue to decline in succeeding years.
- By 2019, Medicare fees will be below the fees paid by Medicaid.
- By 2050, Medicare fees will be one-half of what they private sector pays.
- By 2080, they will be one-third.
So, why will doctors continue to see Medicare patients? Why will hospitals admit them? Many won't. And that's why the actuaries say the Trustees report is "unrealistic" and "implausible." According to the alternative report:
- By 2019 one in seven facilities -- hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health care agencies and hospices -- will be unprofitable and risk bankruptcy.
- By 2030, one in four will be unprofitable.
- By 2050, it will be 40 percent.
There is no more effective cost control device in the world than the simple expedient of denying people care. And that is what is being forecast for the future of the elderly and the disabled, says Goodman.
