Social Security Bernstein Summary

108 Words1 Page

Bernstein’s account of social security is more accurate, because of the fact that only 80 percent benefited from the social security programs. Those included, unemployment insurance, benefits for children, such as medical assistance needed, and Retire benefits. Bernstein “exaggerates” for the good things that he will do in the United States, and the people are leaving out. Those included farm workers, domestic help and sharecroppers. The programs like the social security didn’t really benefit the people and the new deal was not looking so great. The New Deal has reduced the suffering, but it has not received the praise for transforming America that others worshipped to do so.
