Assume for the purpose of this assignment that we do not currently have a Social Security Act, but that the creation of such legislation is being seriously considered by the federal government for the first time and that the government has accurately predicted that cost of such a program. Create an argument for or against the passage of such a law based on your conception of the ideas on the optimum size of government and on government interventions in the economy (Social Security is an intervention in the economy).
In addition to employing ideas from the assigned readings, you may bring in ideas gathered from research (as long as you cite and reference them), but these should not dominate in your essay.
Write in essay form (that is, in paragraphs, not in bullet points). Be as specific and precise as you can be.
1. Write in Arial font, size 14 Always name the author whose ideas you are discussing (use the author's full name the first time you refer to him/her; after that, identify authors by their last names).
Here's an example of a citation for the Thomas Paine reading for Week 1: (Paine, 1776).
Provide a References list at the end of your essay that includes bibliographic references for every reading cited in your essay.
