Retirees Are Losing Their Faith in Social Security

Social Securityserves as a key source of income for millions of seniors today. But new datatells us that retirees are growing less confident in the program. Only 45% of retired workers think Social Security will continue to provide the same benefits it does today going forward, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

That's a drop from the 51% of retirees who felt the same way last year. The question is: Are today's seniors being overly pessimistic? Or are they really on to something?
