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.
美国应利用不良资产救助计划及其它资源中已经收购和未来将会增加的资产,目的应是解决2030年以后养老金储备不足的问题——届时,美国退休人员占16岁及以上人口的比例将接近25%。其中一项任务可能是要么替换要么扩大社保信托基金(Social Security Trust Fund)和联邦老年人、遗属保险基金(Federal Old-Age Survivors Insurance Fund),在短期和长期内都产生有益效果。
