Thirty years ago last Sunday, former Vice President and Minnesota U.S. Senator Hubert H. Humphrey died. He was only 66.It’s interesting how America’s public policy agenda changes over time. In Humphrey’s 1976 campaign brochure the theme was: Humphrey … The Man for All Reasons.Guess what Reason # 1 was? Senior Citizens.When you open his 1976 brochure this is the text that hits you first:Senator Humphrey believes that Older Americans should be able to live in dignity, independence and security. The man who fought for Medicare also has worked to improve Social Security and Supplemental Security Income and to ease the restrictions on Social Security recipients. Senator Humphrey’s legislative efforts have focused on providing older persons with better nutrition and medical care, improved access to transportation, adequate housing, and expanded opportunities for recreation and enjoyment of the arts. In short, Senator Humphrey wants to see that older citizens have a place in the mainstream of American life.Aging is going to rise on the American agenda again, especially as 78 million baby boomers find that aging is very personal. Yes, it’s interesting how America’s agenda changes over time.
