The Social Security FIX-IT Book

My Review:
I read this in order to educate myself about the basics of the Social Security (SS) program for my internship in DC. I am interning at a place that deals a lot with SS and I will be honest and say I have never cared to know anything about the program. And let’s face it guys-there is nothing fun or exciting about SS much less reading about the problems we face today and the years to come. But I have to say this is a fantastic book because it actually taught me something in a non-boring and non-threatening way. To me, it made reading about SS the most entertaining way possible with all the cute illustrations and easy to read graphs and charts. It’s a book for the everyday person who can read this not knowing a thing about the program and come out a whole lot wiser and much more informed in the end. Here is the description on the front cover. ‘A Citizen’s Guide: A review of the program, its financing problem, and the leading proposals for eliminating the shortfalls. Everything the earnest but over-burdened citizen needs to know. Cheerfully narrated and handsomely presented in 52 pages.’
