Social Security is in need of reform as the Social Security Trust Fund is predicted to deplete between 2033 and 2037. Some economists and politicians suggest that taking the social insurance program to the free-market is the answer. What they mean is to privatize the program, where it would be mandatory for one to put funds in a private retirement investment account. Social Security began to run a deficit in 2010, meaning that the amount of money collected from taxes was not enough to cover the
