Rezensionen

Max Skidmore's book does a valuable service in documenting the political battle surrounding Social Security since its creation. He also exposes the misinformation and outright lies that opponents of Social Security have used to undermine public support for the program. -- Dean Baker, co-director, Center for Economic and Policy Research Do yourself a favor and read this excellent, solidly researched, commonsense book... -- George McGovern, Former U.S. Senator This work is well argued, graceful in exposition, and well documented...Highly recommended. CHOICE, October 2008 Max Skidmore's excellent and timely book, Securing America's Future, irrefutably documents the fact that recent attacks on Social Security are based on a "manufactured crisis," promoted by anti-government ideologues and Wall Street interests that selfishly want to get their hands on this great money stream. Skidmore demonstrates that Social Security is sound and highly effective, and he shows how it, and U.S. medical programs, might be further expanded. -- Fred Harris, Former U.S. Senator
