America remains, despite the damage inflicted by the Great Recession and its aftermath, a very rich country. But many Americans are economically insecure, with little protection from life’s risks. They frequently experience financial hardship; many don’t expect to be able to retire, and if they do retire have little to live on besides Social Security.
Paul Krugman via New York Times (via ncpssm)
We should be expanding social security. The lack of dignity given to the aged and vulnerable is purely conservative political values.
