The article presents information on the Social Security in the U.S. Social Security's future is the first, and gargantuan, legislative issue of the post-Monica era. Moreover-in stark contrast to the cigars, secret tapes, dress stains and related prurient detritus that have crippled the public conversation these past thirteen months-this issue deserves our deep, authentic and undivided attention. Without Social Security, half of all Americans over 65 today would live in poverty. In the next century, the issue of Social Security's health will grow even more important-and not just because baby boomers will soon join the ranks of the elderly.
