Milton Friedman on Social Security at Awkward Utopia



Milton Friedman on Social Security

The Dallas Fed has posted an interview with Uncle Milty made in 2005. Here are his thoughts on what to do about social security:

My favorite solution…would be to give every individual who’s in a Social Security system now—either as a recipient or as a payer—a bond equal to the present value of what they so far have actually earned and then close the system down.

That sounds pretty good to me!
