Herman Cain hit the nail on the head when he mentioned a VIABLE and PROVEN method of fixing Social Security which worked for a smaller country whose SS was on the verge of bankrupcy 30 years ago...
We discussed it at FR yesterday. It's called :
The Chilean Model
The leading candidate for the Presidency should be looking into it right now.
The thing about the Chilean Model is it was AMERICANS ( from the Chicago School of Economics when Milton Friedman was alive ) who helped them design it. We here in the USA ignored them while a then, third world country like Chile embraced them to their benefit.
Rick Perry ought to be calling on the economists (many still alive) who consulted for Chile to be one of his advisers on this issue.
