In False Alarm: Why the Greatest Threat to Social Security and Medicare Is the Campaign to “Save” Them, Joseph White, Luxenberg Family Professor of Public Policy at Case Western Reserve University, argues that the financial challenges facing both programs are long-term rather than imminent and that they can and should be addressed through incremental adjustments rather than the more radical approaches that have become the preoccupation in Washington. Because the programs together have succeeded in dramatically reducing poverty among the elderly, transforming them into market-oriented arrangements that reduce guaranteed protections risks a return to an era when retired Americans had insufficient resources to live comfortably.
