The United Nations greatest fear is that average Americans will no longer tolerate these international scandals and demand that America withdraw from the international organization.

I have noticed a marked improvement in FEMA and with the coordination of FEMA and the State agencies.

In fact, Social Security is the only source of income nationwide for 29 percent of unmarried elderly women.

Let us face it, the U.N. has failed. It has failed in its mission to promote world peace.

I have the highest number of Social Security recipients of any Member of Congress, and it is always good to hear about how women in their districts are affected by any changes, by the need for changes in Social Security.

On the other end of the spectrum, these women who do live long enough to collect Social Security face the challenge of being disproportionately dependent on the Social Security system for retirement income.

First, women are more likely to live in poverty during their retirement years than are men.
