(135,425 posts)a comment to me, to accuse any DUer of lying, even more so when you imply that the lie was somehoe deliberate and nefarious.
I haven't said a single, solitary word about FDR's record on Social Security (and I have always GREATLY admired him for initiating the program, BTW, so I guess the point you're striving for with regard to my POV is lost)--not sure why you're playing a "gotcha" card there with me. Perhaps you're confusing me with someone else?
If you were drafted into a segregated military during WW2, and most men of a certain age were, they felt the sting of inequality in a very real way. If you were paid less for doing a government contract job as a consequence of your skin color, the point was driven home that separate and NOT equal was the law of the land. Social security had nothing to do with that.
In any event, calling people liars here is pretty doggone rude--just thought I'd point that out to you, in the event that you are unclear on the concept.
