Description
This session will provide attendees with a politically neutral understanding of Social Security funding—how big of a hole we have dug ourselves into and what the options are for filling it back up.
Attendees will then break into an interactive discussion about how our professional ethics might come into play regarding how quiet we are about the whole situation. As actuaries (albeit P&C actuaries), should we not be the resident experts at cocktail parties and company luncheons? Should we be standing on soapboxes telling our friends and relatives about the current state of affairs?
