Social Security meeting is Feb. 22

The public is invited to attend a Social Security meeting at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at Spring Hill Lanes, 3447 Commercial Way.

Jim Gries of Weeki Wachee, founder and CEO of AmeriCare Today, or ACT, will present an alternative to managing the Social Security trust fund.

Gries said that fund is in danger of being depleted for future generations and ACT offers the most viable alternative to fixing the current Social Security problem and ensuring its survival.

The money is gone, he said, and with 10,000 baby boomers retiring daily, that debt is becoming due and government is scrambling to find the money.

At Wednesday's meeting, participants will fill out a questionnaire on Social Security and then watch two PowerPoint presentations focusing on the problem and the proposed solution.

Gries said a question and answer session will bookend the two presentations.
