VALLIERE: Even if there were Social Security reform--and I think the chances are below 50%--they will cap the fees. I talk to people in my industry who think they wouldn't make any money...
Margaret Dell is 96, but you'd need to check the birth date on her driver's license to believe it. Sporting a baseball cap with a Harley-Davidson logo on it, she is the designated driver for her seventysomething friends who no longer feel comfortable behind the wheel.
