What Bush Should Know About Social Security - Retirement Expert Offers Unbiased Useful Information
Houston, TX January 17, 2005 -- President Bush’s recent proposal to privatize Social Security has caused an uproar around the nation. With the media in a frenzy and clashing opinions in the air, concerned citizens trying to find impartial information on the issue are having difficulties.
“Anyone who’s trying to research what’s going on in Social Security is not getting all the facts,” says financial planning expert, Jim Trippon, CPA, “It’s important to have unbiased and sound information, but unfortunately most of the stuff out there is slanted.”
According to Trippon, a former senior Price Waterhouse CPA, the current Social Security system is not sufficient enough to support future retiring Americans. There are three choices to fix the problem:
• Cut benefits
• Increase taxes
• Improve the rate of return
“Our system needs to be changed in order to survive,” says Trippon, “I don’t think it’s a good idea to raise taxes on younger Americans and removing benefits isn’t the solution either. We’re left with improving the rate of return.”
Trippon believes the answer is this: citizens should be allowed to privatize their retirement funds using only Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With TIPS, citizens can invest their money in five, 10 or 20 year terms. Owners receive interest payments every six months and the bonds are protected from inflation, meaning the worth of their retirement investment ultimately cannot be depleted in value.
“This is, in my opinion, the safest investment anyone can have in their future,” says Trippon, “It has nothing to do with South American-style privatization and it will put an end to this media freak show Bush has caused.”
Trippon, who recently completed an extensive study of American retirees, found that 21 percent of those who have retired in the past five years have been forced to return to the workforce due to insufficient finances. He has documented these findings in his bestselling book, “How Millionaires Stay Rich Forever: Retirement Planning Secrets of Millionaires and How They Can Work For You”.
