I overheard a diatribe that a young man was giving as I walked across my backyard. He was very upset at the Democrats in general and socialism in particular. The government was giving away his money. Our party has stopped defending the highly defensible. Social Security is the backbone for care of the elderly. It provides the care that older, poorer people need to survive as they age. I can't imagine anything crueler than dismantling Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. It would lead to the annihilation of generation of Americans and we are obligated to defend it so the right of elderly have a means to exist.

I agree with the rest of the post. Social Security is vital to the elderly.
