people get social security benefits. now, most of those are retirement benefits. that's almost one out of five americans. about 11 million get disability benefits. and so, you know, last year social security paid out over $600 billion in retirement benefits and $140 billion in disability benefits. one of the problems with the disability program is that it's, the finances are not secure right now. in two years the trust fund that supports the disability program is scheduled to run out of money. and at that point disability will only collect enough in payroll tacks to pay about -- taxes to pay about 81% of benefits. so if congress would do nothing, that would result this an automatic 19 percent cut in just two years. congress can do a simple fix, and they've done this many times in the past. social security is supported by payroll taxes, 6.2% directly from you, 6.2% that come from your employer. and a portion of that goes toward retirement benefits, and a portion goes toward disability benefits. congress could redo that fo

here's one this is canadian social program. as david would at will be david he tweeted us this he said the political parties in canada are doing away with social programs and soon the free healthcare that we have here in the united states. you're right what's happened in canada and it's also happening in australia and to some extent it's happening in europe is at least in western europe not so much in northern europe not in the scandinavian countries but in many of the european countries is that the neo cons are taking over the right wingers are taking over the billionaires are taking over there's eighty three people right now who own an amount of wealth equal to half of the rest of the planet and in the united states we have a little fewer than four hundred people who own an amount of wealth equal to more than half of all the rest of us and they're they're basically rising up and saying ok that's it enough of this you know mr nice guy. and so there's an effort in canada to to dial back the canadian health care system there is

these are the most successful social programs in our countries history. the audience of americans fry on them for health care and income security. these programs have helped to drive vast improvements in the quality of life and cut elderly poverty by two thirds over the last four decades and medicare including work had -- mortality rates by over 20%. as today's reports make clear, social security and medicare are fundamentally secure and will remain that way in the years ahead. the report reminds us of something we all understand -- we must reform these programs if they want to keep them sound for future generations. the projections in this years report for social security are essentially the same as last year. when considered on a combined basis, social security, disablement, it is desiccated funds to have benefits that a -- next 19 years. after that, the projected that tax income will be sufficient to about three quarters of the scheduled benefit. social security programs have dedicated funds to schedule all benefits for two years. legislation will be n

>> about half of them rely on social security for half or more of their income. 24% of them rely on social security for 90% of their income so it is really important. other sources of income are predominantly pensions. very few people save outside of the pension system and their employer sponsored plan. housing is important and housing wealth can help in terms of security. what we see is many people don't tap into their savings and stay in their homes and don't take out reverse mortgages. >> host: any statistical information you want to add as far as the savings or what they depend on? >> i would like to mention we have additional statistics on income occupation available on census.gov and released a report with additional information about education and those characteristics. >> host: here is nick, enterprise, alabama. go ahead. >> caller: my question is regarding the changing population. so the question is the media is showing millennial employment and unemployment. how is the growing longevity going to affect because people grow older and retire and are out of the workforce. but baby bo

in the age of social media, datelines become hash tags.ny stories that journalists struggle to file from ferguson just went out on twitter, instagram and other social media tools that became news platforms. this story is about more than what is happening in one small town in the mississippi valley in the heat of the night that has tempers and twitter boiling over. it goes right to the core of racial conflict and social divisions in america and the way that those issues are reported. our starting point this week is ferguson, missouri. . >> it's no longer a 24 hour news cycle. it's a 24 second news cycle. history. >> from the moment the first couple of tweets hit and once you reach that first 25,000, it quickly turns into four million or whatever, the next thing you know, those people are spreading it to their networks. you don't need a mainstream platform to access a significant chunk of the population. it's word of mouth writ large. >> or tweeted large. >> to understand what drove the coverage of the ferguson story during its early stages,

social security ain't dumb. that money they have been collecting in excess of what they send out, they don't just put it under a big social security mattress. it is in t bills, treasury bonds. this is the way it works. the people who say there is a fiction in the trust fund and its funny money, you pay this. social security gets that money. the treasury says here's the social security money we got for this month. treasury says thank you. here are treasury bonds to replace the cash you just gave me. treasury bonds earn 2% interest, not much. lower right now because interest rates are so low. but it earns interest. how much has the social security money we've not used over this last several decades earned in interest? close to $2 trillion. how much today is in reserves in social security that has not been spent that is available? close to $3 trillion. social security is not broke. there's a challenge. i see the challenge in the room. i am the challenge as well. i'm a member of the baby boomers. there's a whole bun

would you turn to social media to open up about your last days?rly 75% of adults go online say they use social media to discuss what is happening in life. one topic isn't as easily discussed death and dying. according to the cdc nearly 2.5 million americans die each year. surveys show that they are waiting for someone else to talk about it. >> if 30% later have a metastasis, why aren't 30% of the stories being presented by the media about women and men with metastatic disease? it should be an equal ratio in and what we see is the happy stories, they want the raw raw, and they don't want to hear from people like me who unfortunately have the incurable situation of taking chemo therapy for the rest of our lives and depending on that treatment. >> she appears on our program during breast cancer awareness month. for more than six years she has been using social media to share her experience. now she has recently started using the online platform to share this chapter of her journey. and she is not alone. more people are using the tool to open up about

but the social media aspect has been programmed. and i think when you talk about this and books, we tend to think of it in terms of the social media presence in what he or she can do to connect with readers. and again, this comes back to how it is not merely about the media as much as it is now almost equally important direct to consumer relationships. often that is more effective and more effectively managed by an author than it is by us. so if i tell you that you should buy something and you might be skeptical. but if you have a feeling that you have a personal relationship with an author, that my mean something more. >> host: futura cell books? >> guest: it is depending on the author. there's nothing more rewarding than sending them to wear it the people will come. they will value that time together and the expense might outweigh the rewards. and that being said, there are writers who do travel when it's most effective and that generally have to deal with whether we think we can get local media or whether we think that they can b

capitalism socialism or europe and the social market economy. what economists forget is there's a third institution we rely on, all of us. millions of people around the world every day to provide an entire array of goods and services that are provided by the market are not provided by government and beyond the profit motive. we call this the social commons. a civil society, the not-for-profit sector. millions of organizations in health care assisted-living sports daycare environmental groups and the economist don't pay much attention to this sector but it's a huge sector in terms of revenue. it accounts for 2.2 trillion in revenue in 40 countries surveyed and it's growing faster than the private marketplace. it's growing at a very fast clip and the u.s. candidate and u.k. is over 5.5% of the gdp. what i think we are seeing is the emergence of the collaborative commons in the social economy. the trigger for that is the zero marginal cost infrastructure because it's like a soulmate for people want to share things in the community. this internet of

social networks so they can really go deep with the social media now when i asked. drake about these algorithms he said. look this looks to me like signature this is the same kind of stuff that could be used to fine tune the kill this so the kill lists that you talk to kill this one is behind value targets which supposedly take out you know high level members of al qaeda people who know what terrorism we know their names but then the vast majority of drone strikes are actually called signature drone strikes and in those cases we don't really know the names. evidence for why they're being selected is quite thin. you know some state department guys were actually law thing about the cia's criteria saying that the cia that would look at pakistan of those say those c three guys doing jumping jacks and they'll be like that's a terrorist training camp take them out that's how kind of loose and fluid i mean across here is classified so we don't really know what the criteria is but we know that looking at what maneuver is doing is that it's loose. and various studies of dron

social security and medicare are without a doubt the most successful social programs in our country's history, and millions of americans rely on them for health care and income security. together these programs have helped to drive vast improvements in the quality of american life with social security helping to cut elderly poverty by two-thirds over the last four decades and medicare improving mortality rates for the severely ill by over 20%. as today's reports make absolutely clear, social security and medicare are fundamentally secure and they will remain fundamentally secure in the years ahead. the reports also remind us of something we all understand, we must reform these programs if we want to keep them sound for future generations. the projections in this year's report for social security are essentially the same as last year and those for medicare have shown improvement. when considered on a combined basis, social security's retirement and disability programs have dedicated funds sufficient to cover benefits for the next 19 years. after that time, as was true last year, it's p

my wife and i are both on social security. at the end of the year we get a w2 form and the first thing we noticed there is income tax taken out because we're told that's the portion that your employer paid in for you. so, okay. then i looked further down the line, it says medicare, $1200. both checks, my wife's and i, we have that taken out. so we'rehu paying for the covere of medicare. all during our working years. we paid into the fund called medicare. now, medicaid, i'm not against it in a way people need help, fine. but whahy does the gentleman before me say that someone on the house said something about us living too long? i'm 84. she'svi 82. and that has nothing to do with living too long. since medicare, we're paying. >> host: we'll take that point, thomas. that is a tweet from one of our viewers, jean, medicare is earned employee ben wit we paid for with payroll taxes. >> guest: you have, but still a subsidy with taxpayers. youbi pay 1.45% your entire working life. if you're 84, it was less than many years. last 25 yea

social security is really important.at other sources of income, it is predominantly pensions. very few people save substantially outside the pension system or outside of their employer-sponsored plan. housing is important. housing wealth can help in terms of income and security. many people do not tap into their housing wealth at all -- at older ages. they tend to stay in their homes and don't take out second mortgages so that is a potential source of resources for some people. host: and a statistical information you want to add? we do have additional statistics on the older population in terms of income occupation and educational attainment available on census.gov and we released a populationhe 65 plus that includes additional information about education and language use and characteristics. host: you can go to the website to find that out and hear his neck enterprise, alabama, good morning. go ahead. one more time -- caller: my question was regarding the changing population. there is a question about millennial underem

and that is because in the social economy it is social requires humans to engage with humans andachines. the last 15 years, the employment of the social commons, the not-for-profit sector has gone up. employment in the traditional marketplace down as technology has displaced workers. this is the way it was outlined. more people are migrating to these expensive types of jobs creating social capital which is a much higher calling than simply attending to a machine. my suspicion, to around this off, is that by 2015 if this is not derailed -- van de think it up set this whole development, in 2015 our grandchildren might look back and be repulsed by the idea that their grandparents 1248, nine, ten hours a day producing goods and services because they're going to be living in a more automated world where the machines do that work, and they will see that loss of human value in the 20th century, mass labor with the same repulse and we see slavery and serfdom before the industrialization. these and people will be growing up in an automated world where they can get on with the more transce
