Also important is the role that Eisenhower plays in contrast to the previous Republican position and in bringing attention to costs as well as expansion. The major omission, though, both here and really to this point in the blog generally, is the issue of race. The exclusions in the original Act fell most heavily (although not exclusively) on African Americans - this is the issue that lies at the core of Ira Katznelson's argument about race and the politics of region in shaping the New Deal state. I'd like to see some attention to this issue. Also, you might look at the way Social Security intersected with the private sector system of pensions, which was also expanding during the period - the two systems became intertwined in ways that reinforced one another (Jacob Hacker's work is critical on this point). Finally, the point about the role and contributions of the states needs to be clarified, as this refers mostly to programmatic components of the SSA other than old-age insurance. Still - excellent work on an critical period in Social Security's history.Guianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05359234620804724308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712197188587933423.post-21438266726772341272011-05-09T10:59:37.319-07:002011-05-09T10:59:37.319-07:00Questions for Readers:

Did Eisenhower's decision to expand coverage represent an increasingly omnipresent source of public pressure to increase benefits and access?<br /><br />3) Do you think that President Eisenhower's balanced rhetoric between efficiency and expanded coverage was effective?Vetan Kapoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307270686924759999noreply@blogger.com
