TomB, we do have excellent data on Social Security income. My report was on what the latest IRS tables show, not on the broader issues you raise, some which I have covered in other articles and in books. I used my 1,116 words to pack in a great deal of information that was relevant to the just released data tables I wrote about.

But Mr. Johnston, by making the $7 a day statement, you are indeed discussing the “broader issues”. You make a sweeping statement about 60 million people, yet you choose to exclude most of the data about those very people.

Can’t you even begin to understand how weak that is?
