Article Abstract:
United States Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, states that the country would face difficulties if the Congress did not move quickly to trim the Social Security and Medicare benefits. He is of the view that if the country had promised more than the ability of its economy to deliver, it would have to recalibrate its public programs so that pending retirees have time to adjust through other channels.
