68% : Let's face it, folks: Social Security is popular.
62% : (And speaking of politicians attempting to "sunset" popular programs like Social Security and Medicare, it should be noted that Senator Joe Biden introduced legislation in 1975 that would do that very thing.
58% : Three days later, in his acceptance speech at the Philadelphia convention,Truman "gave Republicans hell" including on Social Security:Time and again I have recommended improvements in the Social Security law, including extending protection to those not now covered, and increasing the amount of benefits.
51% : Yet as the Bidenites are eager to point out, Republicans seem to have a strange fascination with cutting and/or privatizing Social Security.
50% : All Truman had to do was clarify the choice before the voters as New Deal vs. Anti-New Deal, and he would win.
48% : A key issue for the Democrats was Social Security, the signature program of FDR's New Deal.
46% : Back on January 20, the 45th president declared, "Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security."
38% : However, Truman the defender of the New Deal was a crusher.
33% : Does that sound a bit like Joe Biden as he zinged Republicans in his State of the Union address for seeking to cut, or even transform, Social Security and Medicare?
