SAVING SOCIAL SECURITY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Why are politicians telling us the system is running out of funds?

Young workers and retirees in San Jose look at the facts behind the hype.

The bottom line is - Social Security is a fund separate from the general fund and is not responsible for the federal deficit.
