It provides a large measure of economic security to the whole country, uniting the interests of the poor and the middle class. As the U.S. population ages and the working demographics shift to fewer and younger workers, the financial assumptions that keep Social Security solvent must be examined very critically so the best practical choices can be made today to ensure an optimistic future for our citizens. Dean Baker, the author of Social Security: The Phony Crisis (University of Chicago Press, 2000), argues that the projected shortfalls in Social Security are distant, relatively minor, and no larger than shortfalls that have been easily addressed in prior decades. Politicians are trying to scare the public about the health of Social Security in order to justify cutting or privatizing the system, while the health care system poses a much more serious and immediate problem for the health of the economy and the budget.

He is also CEO of Revitalization Strategies, Inc., the leading-edge firm providing custom integrated revitalization strategies for communities, counties, tribes, regions, and nations.
