I guess you would call extending the [retirement] age reducing benefits, but it's a very complex problem. One of the difficulties about Social Security is that if you start talking about the pain, then you lose the political will...
...basic strictures of demographics, declining numbers of workers combined with rapidly rising numbers of retirees, virtually all of the pension or social security schemes currently in place in the European Union, and to a lesser extent, the United States, will have to undergo significant changes in order to remain solvent.

The start-up, which just moved to Santa Clara from St. Paul, Minn., claims it will be the first to market with a silicon nanoparticle solvent--silicon "ink"--that would mean lower-cost printing of silicon nanoparticles on polymer sheets. That, in turn, would mean lower-cost solar energy because nanosize silicon is a more efficient converter of solar energy to electricity than previously used materials. It could also mean a nanoparticle light "bulb" that would...
