Fallacies by Ted Key and social security benefits overview
Ted Key highlights national social security data ending 1955 showing 1,275,000 children under 18 receiving monthly benefits, with 120,000 via dependent benefits and others via survivors benefits. Copeland notes more orphans benefit from old-age and survivors programs than from aid to dependent children, plus 300,000+ mothers receive survivors benefits. The piece shifts to agricultural policy, arguing for parity support for small cotton farmers and adjusted subsidies, touting potential savings and market export aims. A reader letter from John Dowdy discusses cotton surplus management, farm bill provisions, and advocacy for selling surplus on world markets. Bill Hart of Athens, Texas visits.
