Social Security Solvency and Offshore Job Loss [View All]

It seems to me that the very first step toward protecting the solvency of the Social Security System would be to stop the loss of contributing workers. Every job sent off shore is one less person paying into the system and as a pay-as-you-go system it is essential to maintain the incoming cash flow. You can't do that if the job has moved to China.
