Social Security Major Decisions in the House and Senate 1935-2000

Since its enactment in 1935, Social Security has been amended hundreds of times. Consequently, this paper is not fully comprehensive. Instead, it briefly summarises discussions on individual major amendments. These summations do not capture the range of motivations behind Social Security votes; rather they record the arguments expressed at the time and, by so doing, attempt to give the reader the tone and context of the debate on major Social Security issues brought before the House and Senate chambers.Kollmann, Geoffry is the author of 'Social Security Major Decisions in the House and Senate 1935-2000' with ISBN 9781590332948 and ISBN 1590332946.
