How did individual actions during the Great Recession affect the long-term
solvency of Social Security?
A. Because health care improved, the public accepted a higher age
restriction on Social Security payments.
B. Because job opportunities shrank, less tax money was available,
and payments to disabled and elderly people were cut.
OC. Because of the tight job market, many older Americans retired
early and applied for Social Security benefits, affecting the funds
available for future retirees.
OD. Because tax revenue increased, more money was available for
ensuring the long-term health of Social Security programs.
