Today is the 78th birthday of Social Security. As part of the celebration NOW’s Say It Sister! blog has organized a blog and twitter carnival. Central Oregon Coast NOW is one of the followers of my blog AND one of today’s bloggers for this carnival. Amanda LePine, a member of Central Oregon Coast NOW raises a very good demand – GIVE credit to Social Security for Caregiving. Which I agree with. I discussed this very issue, presenting such a proposal to strengthen Social Security towards the end of my posting this morning.
Working together, we may get this done. It may take a while as we will need to replace the Tea Party members of Congress who want to eviscerate our safety net. But we will get it done. Meanwhile check out some of the other blogs on this issue today at National NOW’s Say It Sister! blog.
