![["In a speech before Congress, Honorable George B. Schwabe of Oklahoma argues for simplifying the qualifications for old-age pensions, suggesting that recipients only need to prove United States citizenship and reach the required age. He criticizes the current system for promoting indolence and suggests that payments be made directly to recipients to eliminate bureaucracy. Schwabe also criticizes the matching of funds by states and advocates for a system where the federal government covers the full cost of old-age assistance. He expresses frustration with the government's prioritization of other spending over helping the elderly and calls for a more straightforward and respectful approach to providing assistance to older Americans."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_2_0000-Old%20Age%20Assistance,%201944-1945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_2_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Simplifying Old-Age Pensions: A Call for Change")
