Policy Forum on Progressive Indexing

The Cato Institute is having a Policy Forum on Progressive Indexing on Monday. Here are the details:

POLICY FORUM Monday, May 23, 2005 4:00 PM (Reception to follow) Featuring Robert Pozen, Chairman, MFS Investment Management, Member, President’s Commission to Strengthen Social Security; Jason Furman, Adjunct Professor, New York University; David John, Research Fellow, Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies, The Heritage Foundation, and moderated by Michael D. Tanner, Director of Health and Welfare Studies, Cato Institute The Cato Institute 1000 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20001 President Bush has endorsed a proposal to slow the growth in future Social Security benefits for middle- and upper-income retirees by changing the benefit formula from wage indexing to price indexing. Critics charge that such a change will weaken Social Security’s foundations while hitting the middle class hardest. Supporters claim it is a fair way to bring Social Security’s promised benefits in line with what can actually be paid. Join us as Robert Pozen, author of the progressive price-indexing concept, and two other experts discuss the impact of this proposal. Registration for events at the Cato Institute close 24 business hours prior to an event; however, seating is still available. If you would like to attend this event, please feel free to register on-site. Thank you.
