Dear fellow Americans, As you undoubtedly know, America is experiencing its worst economic times since the crash of the Stock Market in 1920. This has led us into a Great Depression: banks have closed, businesses have failed, and unemployment rates have been steadily rising. Even worse, many Americans have been laid off because businesses have slowed production or they have fallen into debt and stopped production completely. Fifty percent of the elderly are in poverty. I would like to develop a program that would assist us in solving these problems. The program I have in mind would provide protection for all U.S. citizens. I have formed a committee to develop a program to provide economic security to Americans and find a way to help our country out of this depression. The program that the committee has created is called the Social Security Act, or the SSA. The Social Security Act has eleven Titles in it. The First Title will provide financial assistance to elderly people whom have already retired. The Second Title provides elderly people with insurance. It is called the old age insurance program or the OAI. The Third Title will acknowledge the most important problem, which is unemployment. The Fourth Title will provide support for children whose parents can’t care for them financially, which would be called the Aid to Dependent Children Program. The Fifth Title will provide grants or benefits to states for promoting the healthcare to children and mothers. It will support the handicapped and neglected children and retaining person disabled in industry. The Sixth Title will offer aid to people who are blind. The Seventh title will set up a three member social security board to carry out the plan. Titles Six, Eight, Nine, and Eleven will take care of funding and administration details. The Tenth Title also will do the same as Title Five, and deal with the disabled. I hope that you will consider what I’ve said tonight and tell others about it, because I know this will work and I want to help our nation build up and become the strong nation that I know we are.
