Opinion: Tim Russert's Meet the Press Should Meet the Facts on Social Security Trust Funds
Excerpt: "Tim Russert's Meet the Press interview on Sunday with House Ways and Means chairman Bill Thomas perpetuated two basic misapprehensions. One is that Social Security's trust funds will begin to decline in 2018. The actual projection of Social Security's trustees is that in 2018, the trust funds will amount to $5.3 trillion, growing to $6.6 trillion by 2028." (The Century Foundation)
