CBO Presentation to the Social Security Advisory Board

These figures show graphically what the recession has done to Social Security’s medium term outlook. Answer? Not much.. A near term dip in income is never fully recovered in dollar terms. A DI ‘Primary Surplus’ heading for zero got there a little faster. Does any of this add up to rushing to form a Bi-Partisan Commission? I don’t think so.
