It appears that FDR was willing to relinquish the government's control, something today's 'Rats would rather perish than do.

If FDR were alive today, he, like Zell Miller, would be disgusted by the conduct of today's Democrats...........Especially the way they have taken over the jobs of Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose of undermining the U.S. war effort by any propaganda means they can.

"For perhaps 30 years to come, funds will have to be provided by the states and the federal government to meet these pensions," Roosevelt told Congress.

In a Jan. 17, 1935, address to Congress, Roosevelt, the originator of the federal retirement system, looked into the future and saw the need to move beyond the pay-as-you go financing and eventually establish "self-supporting annuity plans," noted Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.

I would like to see a transcript of this speech - for all the debate about accounts as long as it's been happening and only NOW is something like this being quoted? It's almost 'convenient'.

"What Roosevelt was talking about is the need to update Social Security sometime around 1965 with what today we would call personal accounts," he said. "By my reckoning, we are only about 40 years late in addressing his concerns on how [to] make Social Security solvent."
