On Sunday, the 17th, eleven intrepid souls braved perfect weather to discuss Social Security. Our talk touched on the financial squeeze facing retirees and the disabled and the social responsibility many feel they have for these groups. Several among us expressed a general disgust at politicians for mismanagement, if not outright theft, of the trust fund. This prompted a call for us to personally contact our Congressmen and to hold them accountable.
As the discussion progressed, a positive outlook came to the fore and a consensus developed that a rough patch may lie ahead but our resilient society can innovate its way to better days.
On May 1st we meet again with the topic: Transportation for the Long Haul
Transportation issues come up often during our discussions and certainly it is a subject that affects us all. When it comes to traffic jams and pollution, we are all a part of the problem. But we can also play a role in it's solution. Join us as we talk about bridges, light rail and the future of the automobile. On Sunday, May the 1st we'll take a look at the local and long distance issues, for today and for down the road. Hope we see you then.
