The US should use assets it has already acquired and others it will add in the future, from the troubled asset relief programme as well as other sources. The goal should be to meet the shortfall of pension provision from 2030, when the proportion of retirees will be close to 25 per cent of the population aged 16 and over. One mandate could be to either replace or augment the Social Security Trust Fund and the Federal Old-Age Survivors Insurance Fund, resulting in beneficial outcomes both in the short and long term.
美國應利用不良資產救助計劃及其它資源中已經收購和未來將會增加的資產,目的應是解決2030年以后養老金儲備不足的問題——屆時,美國退休人員占16歲及以上人口的比例將接近25%。其中一項任務可能是要么替換要么擴大社保信托基金(Social Security Trust Fund)和聯邦老年人、遺屬保險基金(Federal Old-Age Survivors Insurance Fund),在短期和長期內都產生有益效果。
