"...President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935, the average life expectancy was about 60 years, which meant that most Americans would not live to become eligible for benefits, then set at age 65."

FDR -- and the Lefties in general -- are so for the people, aren't they?

I know. It's just amazing, isn't it?! I'll bet anything that the American public wasn't told back in 1935 that most adults alive then would not live to get a dime back for the money they paid in.

I'm glad you spotted that part of the quote, because I posted it specifically for the reason you noted -- that almost everything is smoke and mirrors with the Left.

One of FDR's sons once said his father never intended it to be a retirement, only a nest egg. The dems never look to the future. Their stance will come back to haunt them. The President has said he will not leave problems for future presidents (as clinton did).
