Bill Bowlin on Social Security

Carry on the good work of this most important investment

Q. What should be done to make Social Security sound for the future?

A. It seems clear that the 535 members of Congress are unable or unwilling to deal with what is best for our millions of citizens who have paid into and are depending on Social Security. Congress must either deal with the problem straight up or a Social Security board made up of no more than 12 people should be selected to carry on the good work of this most important investment of time, money, earning and investment.
