- The House GOP in 1935, after 3 of the worst (and most conservative) Presidents in history - Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover - all voted against FDR's Social Security while in a recession.

- Why is GOP going after Social Security? It's the most successful and beloved social program in American history. Most of us are too young to remember when growing old in America almost inevitably meant a miserable descent into poverty, but until the middle of the 20th century, that's what it was. http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/26/opinion/waldman-social-security/index.html 602 comments politics
- Texas students may soon be reading in their history textbooks that the American system of democracy was inspired by Moses, segregated schools weren’t all that bad and taxes imposed for programs like Social Security haven’t measurably improved society. http://www.politico.com/story/2014/09/texas-textbooks-criticism-110809.html 221 comments politics

- With their scheme to lock in Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, the only way Repubs will avoid creating the largest deficits in American history is by ending the nation's commitment to its seniors and most vulnerable citizens--by gutting Social Security and functional Medicare and Medicaid programs. http://www.thenation.com/blog/155001/republican-pledge-privatize-social-security 5 comments politics

- "This is the largest tax bill in history," the Republican leader fumed. The reform "is unjust, unworkable, stupidly drafted and wastefully financed. We must repeal! The Republican Party is pledged to do this." Who was it? 1936 presidential nominee Alf Landon, about social security. He lost to FDR. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/19/ar2010031902636.html 28 comments politics
