Saul Anuzi #18
Plan For America
One of the greatest challenges in addressing the problem of unfunded Social Security obligations is getting current retirees on board. Saul Anuzis is the President of 60-Plus, a senior advocacy group, so we thought he would be an excellent guest to weigh in on the topic. Doing nothing about Social Security, as both major political parties seem to advocate, means massive benefit cuts within a decade so that path is unsustainable. The key in Saul's view is a public-private partnership that gives retirees access to market returns with a government guarantee, and that is exactly...

Dan Mitchell #16
Plan For America
Dan Mitchell is the Chairman of the Center for Freedom and Prosperity, a thinktank in Washington, DC, that focuses on free markets end encouraging governments around the world to compete with each other economically. As an economist, we thought Dan would be perfect to comment on the Plan For America provision that retirement monies would be invested in an all-market index of publicly traded, U.S. domiciled companies (with a guaranteed minimum return). The incentive would be for foreign companies to relocate to the United States in order to access this reliable flow of capital and...
