Social Security reform is at the top of President Bush agenda. And with good reason. In the next decade, two monumental shifts will occur:

• Seventy-seven million baby boomers will start drawing benefits and stop paying taxes, and
• Social Security and Medicare will claim an increasing share of federal income tax revenues, reaching almost 30 percent by 2020 and more than 50 percent by 2030.

So, what happens now? You are invited to get the inside scoop from two of the leading researchers on Social Security reform.

• Replaces a pay-as-you-go system with a fully funded system after one generation.

John C. Goodman, President of National Center for Policy Analysis, will moderate
