If there is one-thing senior citizens depend on to be self sufficient, its social .
The one thing all working Americans have in common is that they contribute to .
social security. Since before I remember the federal Government has been planning my .
future; with or withoutmy consent. If we dissect the words social security we come up .
with a social practice or a program of public provision for the economic security and .
social welfare of the individual and his or her family.The U.S. government established .
this program in 1935 to include old-age and survivor insurance for money to be paid out .
through the social security program. I feel the more appropriate definition of this term .
would be a program that was established for government to reform the escalating deficit. .
Government proposes that this monster be controlled by cutting seniors retirement .
benefits and raising the age for social security eligibility. If only there where a way to .
put these government bureaucrats in the position of Americas elderly for whom which .
social security is the majority, if not the entirety of their income.
I propose that politicians, especially those of the Social Security administration, .
and persons from congress, I propose that politicians, especially those of the Social .
Security administration, & persons of congress, live for one month with the only source .
of income provided by Social Security. Put them in government subsidized housing in a .
low income neighborhood. .
I would like to Alan Greenspan as the head of the house and several other of his .
Social Security advisors & put them in low income government subsidized housing. For .
one month the only source of income is Social Security benefits. Their transportation .
options would include, and be limited to public transportation system. Each one of them .
allowed only one small suitcase of their personal items, clothing, toiletries, etc. Each .
member of the household allowed only one phone call a week, limited to five minutes.
