Huh? Slavery was abolished in the 1860's. And were people owning slaves in New York City back in those days anyway? Nope.
I wasn't referring to slavery times. I was more referring to when the govt. stepped in during the Great Depression in the 1930's.
You seem to be more interested in attacking and less interested in discussion.
Social Security was a big turning point in our country. Paved the way for the federal govt. to grow bigger than it ever was intended to.
And it was something that arguably needed to happen....81 years ago.
You seem to be defending old ideas and solutions while at the same time attacking old ideas and solutions that don't fit your narrative.
What we need are NEW ideas and solutions. Social Security was an idea from 81 years ago that was flawed at the outset...but seemed to be the best thing to do at the time.
Where are the new ideas and solutions that will be viable for today?
