A blogathon. Oh Noes. A blogathon presented by the Social Security Defenders group @ Daily Kos, Monday, March 25th thru the Friday, 29th. So far SSD has 10 writers that have volunteered, and we're talking to some Public Officials about contributing a dairy.
You can expect some of the most knowledgeable people stretching their literary legs fo the Daily Kos reader. From rants to geeky data driven stuff, I guarantee you will read something about Social Security you did not know prior.

"Hands Off My Social Security"
I suggested that it had been a mistake to levy these taxes in the 1930’s when the social security program was originally adopted. FDR said, “I guess you’re right on the economics. They are politics all the way through. We put those pay roll contributions there so as to give the contributors a legal, moral, and political right to collect their pensions and their unemployment benefits. With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social security program. Those taxes aren’t a matter of economics, they’re straight politics.”
