Social Security helped pave a humane path out of the Great Depression in 1935 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s broad agenda that lifted the poor and fostered the growth of a strong middle class. In today’s Great Recession, pundits question whether we can still afford Social Security’s promise to empower the vulnerable and sustain a vibrant middle class for tomorrow’s working families. The National Academy of Social Insurance sponsored this forum to explore lessons from history that shed light on the future. CEPR Co-Director Dean Baker took part in a sesssion titled "Fiscal Status of Social Security and the Federal Budget." RSVP here.
