Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law Social Security. He also had declared that the USA was a Christian Nation as numerous Supreme Court case opinions have shown.
When Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) and Congress enacted Social Security it was a pension system designed after a German plan that would reward retirees at the ripe old age of 65. It was rare that people lived to that age back then to even claim Social Security. So the Democrats knew that this was a sleight of hand back then. They knew it was a pyramid or Ponzi scheme where for every retired worker there would be a number of workers supporting that person through their wages. There was no lock box, just smoke and mirrors.
The Democrats never thought many things about social security: that your number would be your tracking #, that the ratio of workers to retirees would change, that it would be used for other things than retirement, that interest rates would spiral out of control, and that abortion would be a plank of their party.
Abortion has doomed Social Security’s solvency. When the Baby Boom generation made the previous generation solid it doomed itself by demanding abortion be made legal. Since 1973 over 59 million people have been discarded at the convenience of the living. Now at the time when 64 million boomers are getting ready to retire, there isn’t enough people to support them. Changes will have to be made.
To ensure the current and future generations on social security abortion on demand must end and or the younger generations must be given a different path forward.
Star Parker said that if the US government were to start up a social pension plan today they wouldn’t have set it up the way FDR did it. She said as an example that if one were to put their money into US Savings Bonds their return on their money would be higher than the return that the current system has. Also taxing social security is detrimental to the person receiving it. Parker says that at the time of the program’s start there were 40 workers to every retiree, now it is down to 3 workers to each retiree.
Minnesota is one of 13 states (MN, CO, CT, KS, MO, MT, NE, NM, ND, RI, UT, VT, WV) that taxes people receiving social security. That may change soon after the MN Republicans took control of the State House and Senate in the 2016 election.
One might wonder what FDR would say about abortion and that it is a major plank of their party. Unlike the current Democratic Party FDR had declared that this country was a Christian Nation. The phrase, “Separation of Church and State,” had a different meaning then. Students in school could pray and study the Bible and the government didn’t dictate to those that freely associated as Christians what to do. Christians were welcome in government. Homosexuals and other perversions were permanently in the closet or were ministered to as the Bible teaches.
It was always postulated what would happen if Christianity were held at arm’s length, weren’t allowed to practice in public, and divorced from public schools–exactly what we have now. The founding fathers and Christian First elected officials prophesied exactly what our country would be like from 1947 onward when the words Separation of Church and State were ripped from President Thomas Jefferson’s 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Church saying the Federal Government will never interfere with Christianity.
The Democrats have “cooked” up false claims over the years to get their way. They claimed indoctrination into Christianity to get School Prayer stopped then a year later Bible Study stopped. The first signs of that action produced the loose morals of the late 1960s and disruptive civil disobedience and disrespect of elders. All the things that our society cherishes took a nose dive while social ills skyrocketed. Our public education system has never recovered. They also produced a “right” out of thin air to murder babies in the womb or moments away from an actual birth.
Abortion Rights were based on lies that were fabricated in the Roe v Wade court case. Norma McCorvey who was cast as “Jane Roe,” in the case admits it now that she is a born-again Christian that the case was based on lies. If it were a criminal trial most likely there would be a new trial now that new evidence has surfaced. The fact that tens of millions of babies have been murdered this case should be retried with the new evidence of tampering with the truth.
Here is a video from 2013 about Norma McCorvey.
When Roe v Wade is overturned there would be an intact generation of future workers to provide the numbers where future retirees can be secure in their retirement.
Morality must return to pre-1964 levels as well. The rate of illegitimate births spiralled out of control once there was no moral standard on sexual desires. The Church needs to get back in a position of leadership.
Other Fixes are Needed
The retirement age should be boosted up to an age where general capacity in contributing to a business is still viable. That age will be mostly on an individual basis but 70 or 75 is more reasonable than 62 or 65.
Different industries have different requirements for work. Industries that rely on manual labor such as farming and hand made short production diminishes with age. If companies can transition older workers to mentoring and advisory roles the loss of business experience when one retires can be retained. There is a certain age when workers can’t grasp new techniques or they refuse to be retrained, this should also be considered.
With private individual retirement plans one can determine when they retire. Individuals’ workspan freedom should be supported. The goal of ones life shouldn’t be directed at living in retirement from 65 to 90. With full supporting generations behind potential retirees Social Security and other retirement programs will be solvent for the future.
