WHEN: Wednesday, November 10, 2004
11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
*Lunch will be served.

WHERE: The Capitol Building, HC 6, Washington, DC

WHY: Advocates of personal accounts for Social Security are developing a consensus in favor of large personal accounts that would allow workers to shift roughly the amount of their FICA taxes each paycheck on average to personal accounts. Such large personal accounts would produce enormous benefits for working people over time.

But how can the transition to such large accounts be financed? What are the best and most feasible means of transition financing, both economically and politically? These issues will be addressed by the panelists at this conference.
