Interview with Krugman on Social Security in Rolling Stone

Here's an easy to read interview with important facts about our social security system. Highly recommended:

For example, did you know that even if the Social Security trust fund runs out, it will still be able to pay 80 percent of benefits? Strangely, our president has been making all sorts of alarmist claims about Social Security, but he hasn't told us that. I wonder why.
