the mortgage on our children’s future is growing larger. The most taxed group in a much taxed
country is our children. Every day
the New deal is
piling up new bills against them. And every night when we tuck them into bed they owe 11 million dollars
more than when they got up in the morning. We used to say enviously, ‘Ah youth the world is yours’, but
now the New deal says, ‘Oh No’, the world is ours. We’ll squeeze it dry and walk out on the next generation. They can pay the check.”

06:33:56 Arthur Altmeyer (?) at
desk, speaks (SOF): “We want an
old age & survivors insurance system that will do the job its set out to
do. Take care of workers when they
are old, and the families iof those who die. The present system is okay as far as it goes, but it doesn’t
go far enough. Benefits are too
low, they only average around $25 a month for those that are now getting
payments.”
06:34:29 “But that isn’t all;
expanding the system would also bring about 11,000,000 new people under this
program. Roughly the
self-employed, the employees of state & local governments, domestic workers,
employees of non-profit institutions like schools & hospitals.”
06:34:51 “As Federal Security
Administrator I strongly favor these extensions of our present system. The two & a half million people now
drawing benefits will need these increased payments now. The 43 million workers already insured
will need them; the eleven million new workers will need them. This is a big step in the right
direction; and I hope it is not long delayed.
