What kind of public employees wouldn't get Social Security? Never heard this before.

Ask Ed Kilgore. I don't know whether it's still the case but in the 50s and 60s in Texas school superintendents could refuse to do SS for school employees. In my little home town, the superintendent refused to do it because "it was socialism." And no amount of employee grumbling (no such thing as unions) would change his mind. As a result, my mother's pension status was depleted.

To repeat: I don't know whether that provision still exists, but I do know that it did.
