The skinny on SS reform from the GAO

A new report by the GAO answers “key questions” on Social Security Reform.  According to the GAO

“This guide provides answers to questions about the most basic aspects
of Social Security and reform issues in a concise and easy-to-understand
format. We provide straightforward answers to how Social Security works,
why it needs reform, what the basic options are, and how to assess their
implications. For readers interested in a deeper and more detailed discussion,
we include a bibliography of related GAO products. A glossary defining key
terms is included at the back of this document.”

Lots of cool graphs, pie charts, and other details add interest, not to mention comprehensibility.
