Flight Pundit

Yesterday I noted an article in the Washington Times about how President Bush, Congress and the government of Mexico had made plans to give away a huge percentage of American earned Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants. It pissed me off to no end. It should piss everyone off. Today, the WATIMES has an excellent editorial about this:

On its way to bankruptcy, Social Security will get there a bit sooner if President Bush, Republican senators (and prospective presidential candidates) John McCain, Chuck Hagel and Sam Brownback and the overwhelming majority of Democratic senators get their way.

McCaint (and that’s not a misspell), Hagel and Brownback deserve to be impeached for this. At the very least they should be fired…and each of these men wants to be the next person to occupy the White House.

As Stephen Dinan reported in The Washington Times yesterday, the Bush administration has reached an agreement with Mexico that would permit illegal aliens, after they are granted amnesty in the future, to claim Social Security benefits for the work they performed while in the United States illegally, even if the illegal aliens committed felonies by using fraudulent Social Security documents to obtain their jobs.

What this intended to do was allow future immigrants (who will have been granted amnesty it is assumed) to draw benefits from the pool of funds they did not pay into, but WE did. So when we’re old, we lose out by about 15% or so…FUCK this bulloney.

Using the Freedom of Information Act, the TREA Senior Citizens League, a Social Security advocacy group, recently obtained a document detailing the U.S.-Mexican deal, which was reached in 2004. The agreement has not yet become law. Nor should it.

And it best NOT become law. We can take some action now. Call. Write. Put to shame those who would allow this travesty to happen.

During the Senate debate on immigration reform in May, Mr. Ensign proposed that no illegal alien whose status would be adjusted by the Senate bill be permitted to receive Social Security benefits as a result of unlawful activity. “There was a felony they were committing, and now they can’t be prosecuted” under the terms of the Senate immigration bill, Mr. Ensign argued at the time. “That sounds like amnesty to me.” On top of amnesty for the felony, the bill would also grant them Social Security benefits, as would the deal negotiated by the Bush administration with Mexico.

BULL-FUCKING-SHIT. Mr. Ensign is right….and Bush and company are wrong. It’s only coming out NOW, all these little details of the deals that are part of the so called Comprehensive Immigration Act…

In addition to Messrs. McCain, Hagel and Brownback, other still-serving Republicans who opposed the Ensign amendment, which lost by a 50-49 vote, included Sens. Lindsey Graham, Richard Lugar, Mel Martinez, Arlen Specter, Ted Stevens and George Voinovich.

Are the nuts??? No…they’re pansy asses who cannot stand up to the business lobby, who support the work of illegals for their own profit. Who support the American worker losing not only jobs, but now our Social security, which is already in trouble. Perhaps this is a good reason to do away with it! If we all had our own private plans, the damn government wouldn’t be able to take our money and GIVE it away to those who don’t earn it!

And I’m not apologizing for my language here. I get so pissed off at this shit I can’t stand it…and when I’m this mad, I have little control of my mouth.
