Program Information

  • Description: Friday Forum: "Social Security reform," with Marie Smith, president, AARP. "Attack ads against AARP won’t divert the nation’s monolithic seniors organization from protecting Social Security, its president told the City Club on Friday. This week, some conservative groups pledged to spend millions criticizing AARP and supporting President Bush's proposal to allow Americans to put some of their Social Security contributions into private retirement accounts. AARP opposes that plan."
