Social Security is headed for collapse. How can the United States make its retirement system sustainable without crushing the next generation under a mountain of debt or taxes?

America’s largest entitlement program turns 90 this year—and it’s on life support. There’s no trust fund, just IOUs from the federal government and trillions in borrowing to keep the program afloat. By 2033—just eight years from now—Social Security will go bust. If nothing changes, benefits will be slashed by 20 percent or more.

However, there is a remedy. Reimagining Social Security: Global Lessons for Retirement Policy Changes explains what is wrong with Social Security and how major retirement program reforms from Canada, Germany, New Zealand, and Sweden could work in the United States. Combining interviews and new analysis, this book lays out real-world solutions that protect seniors, preserve individual liberty, and fit the American economic model.

Forget partisan gridlock. This is about smart, tested policies that work. Whether you’re a policymaker, scholar, or concerned citizen, this is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of retirement in America.

 

"As America’s Social Security program nears a fiscal tipping point, Reimagining Social Security challenges us to think boldly about the future. Combining expert perspectives, global lessons, and practical solutions, this timely book shows how the US can preserve retirement security while empowering individuals and shielding our grandchildren from rising debt and taxes. Essential reading for policymakers and all looking ahead to a secure retirement, the book offers a clear and compelling guide for modernizing Social Security against the backdrop of our changing demographic and economic reality."
—Olivia S. Mitchell, professor of business economics and policy, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania

“This book must be read by anyone interested in Social Security reform. It brings together experts from the US and abroad to examine successful Social Security reforms undertaken by other advanced countries. The examination provides a fresh perspective on how the US Social Security program can be fundamentally reformed. I finished the book with renewed optimism about the prospects for reform.” 
—John F. Cogan, Leonard and Shirley Ely Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, and author, The High Cost of Good Intentions

“Social Security reform is neither a right- nor left-wing agenda. No program, however commendable, can command an ever-larger share of society’s resources. While the book emphasizes benefits but not tax adjustments that may be necessary, I find particularly appealing how Boccia and Nachkebia illustrate how other countries—but not the US—adapt to uncertain demographic shifts in life expectancy and birth rates—a vital requirement for sustainable reform.”
—Eugene Steuerle, Richard B. Fisher chair, Urban Institute

“Boccia and Nachkebia provide a welcome reality check to the Social Security policy discussion, accurately diagnosing not only our national pension system’s problems but their causes. Though the picture is a daunting one, the reader is not left without answers, for not only do Boccia and Nachkebia provide their own well-considered recommendations, they also assemble the insights of other US Social Security experts as well as the best lessons from international experience. Readers of this volume will obtain a clearer sense of how Social Security reforms should be conceived and designed.”
—Charles Blahous, J. Fish and Lillian F. Smith Chair, Mercatus Center, and former public trustee for Social Security and Medicare

“This book is a must-read for any policymakers who are concerned about the future of the Social Security program—and about the federal government’s unsustainable finances more generally. The discussions are thoughtful and nuanced, drawing lessons from public pension systems in other countries. The authors make a compelling case for adopting a New Zealand–style flat Social Security benefit that focuses on keeping seniors out of poverty, while restoring the program to solvency and empowering all Americans to save for the future.”
—Sita Nataraj Slavov, professor of public policy, Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University; and faculty research fellow, National Bureau of Economic Research

Extremely durable, dogs love them
Color: 2 PC-Beef-Red, Color: 2 PC-Beef-Red
I was looking for the toughest and most durable dog chew bone I could find and this is it. I have bought multiple other brands that claim to be very durable and tough for a very long time and this is the one for sure. The shower has described this phone accurately and it truly does last. I purchased this bone about 2 months ago. As you see from the photos attached, this is a very well made chew bone and my aggressive pitbulls can't tear it apart do they try. They never get tired of it and chewing it every single day for hours on and keeping them very occupied. I have two bones and three pitbulls that chew on it every day. It is so adorable and has an awesome flavor to it which I think entices them even more to want to chew on it. The durability and Lasting power is amazing to me with these tough chewers. I highly recommend this product to everyone out there. I will say only one negative and that is that the middle wraparound piece they were able to pull off but that is not a big deal because there is plenty of bone which was under that cover in the middle of the bone. There's a few mauled chips missing from the ends but the life of this bone is obviously going to be a long time which really surprised me. Give it a shot if you have heavy duty chewers and you will find how awesome this phone really is and it's durability and strength our second to none in my opinion.

My dog loves it.
Color: 1 PC-Beef-Red
My dog is a super aggressive chewer when it comes to toys. Anything that is soft he rips apart. This one has a wonderful squeaky sound that makes him happy and he enjoys the smell of it. This is a very strong material and definitely worth the price.

Durable!
Color: 1 PC-Beef-Red
Alright, here's a product review for those Tough Dog Toys: Finally, a Toy That Survives My Monster! - Tough Dog Toys Review As the owner of a determined (and I mean determined) large breed chewer, finding toys that last longer than five minutes has been a constant and often frustrating quest. I've gone through countless plush toys ripped to shreds, rubber toys with chunks missing, and even some "indestructible" toys that met their demise far too quickly. That's why I was both hopeful and skeptical when I came across the Tough Dog Toys, designed specifically for aggressive chewers and large breeds. Let me tell you, these bone-shaped nylon toys are living up to their name. My power-chewing Labrador has been going at this thing for days now, and I'm genuinely impressed. Where other toys have succumbed to his relentless gnawing, the Tough Dog Toy has held its own. There are some minor teeth marks, as expected, but absolutely no significant damage, no pieces torn off, and no signs of imminent destruction. "Almost indestructible" might actually be an understatement! The design is simple but effective. The solid nylon construction feels incredibly durable, and the bone shape is easy for my dog to grip and maneuver. It's also a good size for a large breed – substantial enough that he can really get a good chew going without it disappearing in his mouth. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind this toy provides. I no longer have to constantly supervise playtime, fearing that he'll ingest pieces of a destroyed toy. This feels like a safe and long-lasting option for even the most enthusiastic chewers. Pros: * Truly durable – stands up to aggressive chewing from a large breed. * Solid nylon construction feels virtually indestructible. * Safe design with no small parts to break off. * Good size and shape for large dogs to grip and enjoy. * Provides long-lasting entertainment. Cons: * May show some teeth marks over time (though this hasn't compromised its integrity). * It's a fairly hard material, so dogs who prefer softer toys might not be as interested. Overall: If you're at your wit's end trying to find a toy that can withstand your aggressive chewing large breed dog, I highly recommend giving the Tough Dog Toys a try. This bone toy has proven to be the most durable option we've encountered, offering excellent value for money and, most importantly, a safe and engaging chewing experience for your furry friend. Five out of five paws!

Very well made chew bone!
Color: 1 PC-Beef-Red
Great durable, very well made chew bone! Our dog usually tears up all his toys within a few minutes or sometimes hours after he gets them. He’s had this bone for a few days and it’s still in one piece. Except for the rubber that’s in the middle, he chewed up in a couple of days. I would definitely buy more chew toys made by this company! Well worth the money!

The rubber middle is not durable, it lasted less than 3 hours.
Color: 1 PC-Beef-Red
I bought this as I have bully/husky puppies (9 months old) and a pitt/doberman (9 years old). They are heavy chewers and destroy everything. I saw a video of this toy. The woman said that her dog chewed on it for a while (about 2 hours or so) she showed the ends visibly chewed, which I expect but it was holding up. The rubber middle seemed to hold up to. I received this yesterday. I had to take it away from them last night as they were chewing the rubber middle off. They had it maybe 3 hours. I didn't give it a lower star score as I will just cut the rubber off and give it back to them. So I was disappointed in the rubber middle not being more durable but the hard plastic it's made from is the strong material they need.
