2/7/97

Newsweek Wall Street Editor Allan Sloan on Social Security reform proposals, January 20, 1996:

And forcing millions of people who don't know stocks from smocks to let the market determine whether their retirement dinners will consist of cat food or caviar doesn't seem like the way we should treat people.
