Since the "Value" of Social Security has been repeatedly questioned
by those who would Eliminate and/or Privatize, we must question
their logic and reasoning, which is, "I got mine now get out of my
hair" or " It's a Ponzi scheme by perpetuated by big government".
This thinking is neither logic nor reason. Remember the learned
lesson extolled by the Securities and Exchange Commission, " Don't
bet the grocery money!"
They are right about one thing, "It's all about MONEY, who has it
and who don't". Most people are doing their very best to take care
of their families but illness, accident, loss of a job, low income
all take their toll. WE, THE PEOPLE must commit ourselves to
helping through the public effort of Social Security.
There is plenty of money in the GDP (not SEC) to afford and provide
a "Living Income" on a "Pay as you Go" system that we are currently
managing. More later on this...
