SOCIAL
SECURITY
"Social security is a job when you can work and an income
when you can't." William Beveridge, [1943] cited
by Robert M. Ball, Social Security Today and Tomorrow.
Ball was Commissioner of Social Security under three Presidents.
"The best insurance for Social Security is full employment--jobs
for all at decent pay." -NJFAC
"To be certain of a regular income, as in the case of social
security, is not the same thing as to be able to repair any damage,
or to meet any emergency." Poet Wallace Stevens, justifying SS
to his coworkers at the Hartford Fire and Indemnity Company in
1937. Opus Posthumous, rev. ed., 233.
