Happy Birthday, Social Security! (a few facts for R's)

Social Security, one of the most successful programs in American history, turns 77 today!

In honor of SS’s birthday, and in honor of Paul Ryan’s past support of Bush’s plan to privatize it, we made a shareable graphic with a couple key Social Security facts: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151093571408118&set=a.10150179024053118.326871.92021268117&type=1

You are only six years older than I. Five generations of my family have supported you and you have supported four of them. I plan to be around when you turn 100.
