Social Security, Education, and a Lack Thereof

In the news last night, I caught a report about how millions of senior citizens may find themselves displaced in terms of claiming their social security benefits due to budget constraints or something like that. I wasn’t really able to catch the entire news segment because I was busy reading my students’ essays. However, that brief snippet got me to thinking about how sad it is that social security, alongside education, is often pushed to the back burner when it comes to government priority, unlike in other countries that really give a high premium on these. I hope by some sheer miracle this can change. I have a feeling that if this is made more secure, we can see a lot of great things happen.
