Social Security

Jacki talks with former senator John Danforth about the need for social security reform. Danforth says that by the year 2029, if not before, the social security program will be bankrupt and that entitlement programs will consume all federal taxes. Danforth faults politicians for not having the courage to stake their political futures on addressing this issue.
