Social Security

has an older history in many other countries besides the USA, you might consider to rename the article to Social Seurity in the US. Contrary to social security in Sweden, the UK, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France etc etc etc. Robert Tito |  Talk  21:00, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

Request for name change of article

The name of this article is quite wrong. First, it discusses only the USA. Secondly, it fails to explain the major distinctions between social insurance, social assistance and the all-inclusive social security. The article here belongs as a subsidiary page of the USA.

We need a generic article on social security to replace this, with some internationally-relevant analysis.

The article has now been renamed, leaving an empty page for a generic account of Social Security. --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 07:28, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

Sorry, this move is absolutely wrong! It would be like changing the article on the New Deal to New deal. In the USA, the whole *program* is called Social Security, with Caps on *both* words. Trust me.... Hayford Peirce 17:31, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
