RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN POLITICS
Saving Social Security
The solutions to the problem of the
Social Security fund
The fund that ensures retirement
For each and everyone
Is not as complicated as politicians say
Just make a simple adjustment
To how much the wealthy pay
Extend collections upward
Adjust the payments down
Overnight the fund is solvent
And placed on solid ground
Make it a moving standard
Proportionate to the facts
We’ll call it by a simple name
The Saving Social Security Act
The elder folks should never be
Abandoned by the nation
From sea to glorious sea
Let’s offer up salvation
A fund that’s always guaranteed
That never will expire
A simple and eternal seed
When we grow old and retire
