Andrew Biggs Explains Why There is Really Is No Retirement Crisis
In an environment where Americans are repeatedly told by mainstream media that they are facing a serious retirement savings crisis because they aren’t saving enough, there’s one person who repeatedly stands up to refute these claims.
Andrew Biggs, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former Deputy Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, explains why he thinks most Americans probably are indeed saving enough for retirement, and how what he says are “flawed” calculations exaggerate the shortfall of Social Security’s retirement income replacement rate.
