Reversing the Bush Tax Cuts Would Not Fix Social Security

From Rea S. Hederman, Jr., a Manager of Operations and a Senior Policy Analyst in the Center for Data Analysis, and Andrew Grossman, a Senior Writer at The Heritage Foundation:

Repealing the President’s tax cuts to pay for Social Security would reduce economic growth, make Social Security an even worse deal for workers than it is already, and fail to address the growing problem of entitlement spending. Beyond these shortcomings, repealing the tax cuts would not even fix Social Secu­rity’s finances.
