401 Retirement Plans, IRAs, and other tax deferred savings
Social Security has been funded by FICA contributions from your paycheck. The current model of Social Security reform advocated by the White House would use private accounts to support the Social Security trust fund. Ironically, most economists and experts point out that setting up private accounts would run down the Social Security Trust much faster.
The History of Social Security
The history of Social Security begins in the latter days of the Great Depression. Universal guaranteed retirement money for all; the Social Security Act of 1935 offered an attractive promise to Americans struggling to make it through the Great Depression. No wonder it met with political success. The government pledged that if workers paid a Social Security tax on all of their wages, they would be supported in their old age.
