Today's dumb statement ...
...comes from a short paper (I'd say 'mercifully short', but it wasn't; not enough, anyway) on income redistribution:
http://www.irp.wisc.edu/publications/focus/pdfs/foc123f.pdf
That the Social Security Act and the Social Security System have the term "security" in them is also evidence in support
of the position that our income transfer system is attempting to promote economic security.
I guess that's like the evidence that the 'War on Drugs' is attempting to promote drugs. or war.
Hmm. He may have a point.
But seriously. What it is evidence of is that those who were trying to sell SS (for whatever reason) know that 'security' is considered to be a Good Thing by the people they were trying to sell it to. What a dork.
