Simon is on page 29 of 152 of Disinherited: How Washington Is Betraying America's Young
From Chapter 1: Meyer and Furchtgoot-Roth are good at identifying the unsustainability of Social Security, but the proposed solution (transitioning to a prepaid system) is just going to make "our" generation pay twice. And it's this painfulness of changing that makes it so impossible to change.

Initial view from summary - not sure why devolution to English regions is dismissed. England seems far too large for meaningful devolution. Maybe this is explained in the actual text.
