According to the MSNBC broadcast segment:
The right-wing has a history of attacking social programs, beginning in 1935 when FDR signed the Social Security Act. In the 1960’s, Ronald Reagan called the Medicare program socialism. Nancy Altman, Co-director of Social Security Works, joins Rev. Al Sharpton to discuss the Republican history of claiming social programs will lead to ruin.
There is a Just Third Way that will strengthen individuals and empower them to be affluent and self-sufficient––through leadership that will implement policies and programs to ensure that as the American economy grows that the future income-producing productive capital means of producing our products and services are broadly owned privately and by individuals. The result would be far less dependence on social programs as individuals and families would be far more affluence and supportive of a sustainable economy.
