Social Security

The Social Security Program was created in 1935 to provide old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits to workers and their families. This was one of the great achievements of the Roosevelt administration. The "conservatives" fought it tooth and nail, calling it "communism" Now, they all line up to collect the benefits.
The fight is now over what is called "Obamacare" in the Supreme Court hearing. The rightwing is doing their best to have it declared unconstitutional. If they succeed, will the next step be to go after Social Security?
All senior citizens better watch closely what the far right is up to. If you suffer in silence, you will die in silence. The fight is on. You had better join in.
