Question

During his second term, which problem did George W. Bush attempt to address by calling for the privatization of Social Security?

Answer 1

The correct answer should be C)Birthrates had almost doubled since the start of the Social Security system.

The major issue is that the extremely high amount of baby boomers is bound to hit retirement age or has already reached that much. This is a problem because the system cannot handle so many retirements at once as there are not enough people who pay taxes and support social security at that level. If it was privatized, people who have more money could pay those retirements.

Answer 2

The REAL answer is: Younger workers feared they would not have sufficient income after they retired.
