Quotes about Elderly Assistance

Paul Ryan

The sicker and the older you get, the more support you ought to get.

Paul Forseth

Old age security is welfare for the aged.

Forseth forgets that in Canada and the United States, as well as most other countries with equivalent systems, the individual worker pays into the Social Security Trust Fund and have paid for their insurance during their working career. Social Security has been solvent so no general welfare money has come into the system. Other conservatives complain that the yield that Social Security pays is not as large as it could be with a private investment and insurance option, so most conservatives do not even think of Social Security as a type of welfare.

A law providing for the payment of a pension of $50 per month to every needy person over sixty years of age who has lived in the State of California three years prior to the date of the coming into effect of the law.

There was no welfare and no Social Security then. Sinclair’s idea and another by a Physician by the name of Townsend (see {36007} ) were the only two ideas in the table about old age pensions. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, noting the appeal of Sinclair and the Townsend plan pushed Social Security shortly thereafter and it became law in 1936. This quotation illustrates that losing candidates and their programs can have a very profound effect on public policy.
