In regard to Social Security
Posted on September 22nd, 2011
From Fed Up: By
Governor Rick Perry
“And there stands a
crumbling monument to the failure of the New Deal, in stark contrast to the
mythical notion of salvation to which it has wrongly been attached for too
long, all at the expense of respect for the Constitution and limited
government.” – Page 50
Governor Perry never
said that Social Security was unconstitutional.
As the son of tenant
farmers in rural West Texas, Rick Perry has seen first hand how important
social security has been for so many of our senior citizens, and he believes
there is no question we must keep our promise to our senior citizens.
Governor Perry has
stated the issue is not with the intent behind social security or the benefits
those checks have provided, but that the system is broken. There is no money
set aside for a single American, and that our leaders owe it to the American
people to acknowledge this.
The point in the book
is simply that this is what happens when you empower a far-away central
government.
