Social Security needs reform. It is built upon more people entering the workforce, than are relying upon the system. As birth rates have dropped and people are living longer, the system is no longer sustainable. We will need to identify new sources of funds and a new structure to ensure seniors are protected.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is a threat to the economic security of the United States. If people are hired or fired based on their skin color, we are missing out on future growth. Additionally, sentencing someone based on race, devestates communities and ensures someone is a burden on taxpayers.
