Summary

This document contains two presentation slides (pages 257 and 258) from a report titled 'USA Inc. | What Might a Turnaround Expert Consider?' produced by KPCB (Kleiner Perkins). The slides propose mathematical illustrations for restructuring Social Security, specifically suggesting increasing the retirement age from 67 to 73 (Slide 1) and reducing benefits by 12% (Slide 2). The document bears a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020970).
