The Social Security Program is 75 year old, or seventy five years young. 75 years is young for a program that needs to last forever.

This past week, the nemesis, the arch enemy, of the program from Day 1, the Republican Party, cranked up its doomsday machine a little tighter, as its minions went about the land plotting, and speaking, of and about ways, to destroy this good program, which makes it possible for millions of elderly Americans to eat and to keep a roof over their heads.

The GOP minions, in so many words, are playing a bizarro Piped Piper's tune, as they say that they are going to save America by destroying the elderly. They tell America to gamble with her people's retirement years, by forcing her people to gamble, with their retirement cash, in the casinos of Wall Street.

Thank Heaven that most Americans, in every region of the country, aren't listening to these bizarro Piped Pipers, whom instead of leading rats away from the people, scheme to lead the people to the rats.
