The written assignment for this unit considers Social Security. Over the next few decades, retiring baby boomers will increase outflows in the Social Security system. Will there be sufficient funds to keep Social Security going; and should it be kept going? The issue has become highly politicized, often obscuring facts about the system and limits to what we know about future economic data.
In this assignment, you will look into Social Security currently and its possible need for reform. Prepare a brief summary of the Social Security problem and potential solutions based on the questions below:
1. How is Social Security currently funded?
2. What happens to funds once they are paid into the system?
3. What changes have been made to the Social Security system from inception to date? Are those changes adequate?
4. When would you expect the Social Security system to begin to experience difficulties, if any? Why?
5. What are the pros and cons of replacing Social Security with private funds? Do you support privatization or not support it? Provide arguments to support your side.
Here are some potential websites for you to review and utilize as sources. Please feel free to also search yourself for additional reliable sources. Be sure to cite your sources utilized.

Numbers of arbitrarily large absolute value
: If S exists, then S(x, y) = 0 ∈ R. Then by Problem 4 there must be neighborhoods U of x and V of y in K such that S(u, v) ∈ R and |S(u, v)| 1 for all u ∈ U and v ∈ V . Show, however, that each of U and V contains real numbers of arbitrarily l..

Problem regarding the continuous real function
: Show that there is a continuous real function f on X ,0 at x , and 1 on X \U . Use this function to show that x is not in the closure of K \U.

Left and right uniformities
: Let G be the affine group of the line, namely, the set of all transformations x f→ ax + b of R onto itself where a /= 0 and b ∈ R. Let G have its relative topology as {(a, b): a /= 0} in R2. Show that G is a topological group for which the left an..

Base consisting of symmetric sets
: 1. If X, Y , and Z are uniform spaces, f is uniformly continuous from X into Y , and g is uniformly continuous from Y into Z , prove that g ? f is uniformly continuous from X into Z. 2. Prove that any uniformity has a base consisting of symmetr..
