You ask if I know what happened to old people before Social Security, they survived on what they had and what they could produce. I was born and raised in the deep south as were my parents and Grandparents et. al, my Mother never had a pair of shoes until she was six years old because all of her siblings were much older than her and there were no hand me downs. Both sets of my Grandparents worked on the farm from day light to dark just to provide the basic necessities for their families, my Dad told me they never really noticed the depression because nobody they new had ever had any money to speak of anyway. My paternal Grandfather worked for others most of his life and was finally able to buy his own place at age 56, he worked that place until he died but it was paid for. My Father and a couple uncles went to college on the GI bill after World War II and when my dad bought his home farm in 1948 the bank made him take a 30 year mortgage becaue he only made $160.00 per month at the time. Not a single one of the people I have described ever considered themselves poor or deprived, all of them were proud to walk up right on the land and be able to work and provide for themselves and their families, all of them loved the USA and believed until the day that they died that it was the greatest country on earth with opportunity for all, I share all of those beliefs and thank God for the people who raised me. Having said all that, any one in the United States today that thinks they are poor does not even begin to understand the meaning of the word.
