Hello America, this is your president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I am speaking from the white house to talk to you the about a problem that has been around for a long time before the start of the Great Depression on Oct.9, 1929, but has increased dramatically ever since the stock market crashed and needs to be dealt with. The pressing problem is the unemployment rate. It is at an alarming 25 percent and we cannot experience this any longer. Americans out there are losing hope and I will bring the hope back to America, and I will get this nation back up and running prosperous how it used to be. It will tough but I’m sure you and I can do it.

My solution to this problem is a program, I’ve devised that will hopefully be able to solve the problem of the alarming unemployment rate. The program is called the SSA, otherwise known as the Social Security Act. This act will give some measure of protection to the average citizen and their families against the loss of jobs and against poverty-ridden old age. My goal with this program is to insure that every citizen and senior citizen could live above the poverty line. The Social Security Act will pay retirement benefits to the primary worker and establish a national unemployment compensation program.

Our biggest challenge to getting this program to work is the financial cost. At the rate we’re going Social Security will consume about 67 percent of the federal budget, according to Congressional Budget Office projections. The CBO projects other trust fund programs will consume 8 more percent. This only leaves 25 percent of revenues available for other purposes. However, with determination in our nation there are solutions to every problem our nation is facing. Goodbye America.
