Reason columnist and Mercatus Center economist Veronique de Rugy will be on John Stossel's eponymous Fox Business show, talking about "the biggest rip-off": entitlement spending. Also featuring Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) and demographer Joel Kotkin, both of whom have appeared in Reason.tv videos.

Details:

Bernie Madoff was the scandal of the century. His 50 billion dollar scam was called the biggest ponzi scheme ever. But that's just not true. There's a ponzi scheme worth TRILLIONS, not billions, called Social Security and Medicare. It's a scam worse than Madoff, and Congress isn't investigating it… it's RUNNING it. And our children will pay for it.

Joining the program this week, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI), economist Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, David Certner of the AARP, Joel Kotkin, author "The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050", and Gabriel Heiser of medicaidsecrets.com.

Airs Thursday at 8pm & 11pm ET. Re-airs Friday at 10pm ET, Saturday at 7pm ET, Sunday at 10pm ET.
