Maya MacGuineas is president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and head of the Campaign to Fix the Debt. She recently wrote an opinion piece for The Salt Lake Tribune, an excerpt of which is below.

Trust fund solvency may sound like an obscure topic, but it’s one that will affect nearly every person in Utah and the country.
