Why Social Security Isn’t Going Broke And How Expanding It Will Help Us All

  A growing chorus of prominent voices in Congress and elsewhere are calling for the expansion of our Social Security system—people who know that Social Security will not “go broke” and does not add a penny to the national debt.

Eric Kingson is the co-author of the new book, Social Security Works!: Why Social Security Isn’t Going Broke and How Expanding It Will Help Us All.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
