Social Security is alive and kicking, despite some rhetoric that is aimed at making the public have doubts on that point. A recent LA Times article confirms that the program has become financially stronger in the past year. To put it another way, Social Security is solvent, fiscally healthy and not in peril and this article reminds us with solid statistics in support thereof. Beware of claims that inaccurately portray Social Security as being in jeopardy; the facts show otherwise.
