Social Security and Medicare, Big Government’s two most cherished social-welfare programs, are running out of money far faster than expected, thanks to the persistent economic downturn. Medicare, which is already running a deficit, will run out of money by 2017, while Social Security will be broke 20 years after that, according to new estimates from the Obama Administration.
So by your logic, doesn't this prove that the Obama administration are all a bunch of "F___king idiots?"
Riz...I said absolutely nothing about shooting anyone or even sending them home. In fact, I believe I specifically said the contrary. I just think it's a problem that needs to be dealt with CORRECTLY. Why is that so awful?
And if we stay on topic here, the real source of the problem here is that our health care system is in trouble and we need to fix it. Raising taxes and throwing more money at the problem will not help anyone. Illegals are draining the system extensively and we need to fix the leaks everywhere we can. I have never said we should throw illegals out, but we do need to get them to pay into the system before they send their checks home to their families.
The system does need to be improved, but I have scores of friends who managed to come in the proper way. Whether it's difficult or not...immigration is a still a gift that we give of our choosing, and not a god given right. The fact that it's difficult does not justify willfully breaking the law and taking the "easy" route in.
I'm mosty definitely NOT saying that. My point is that you cannot "reform" our health care system without first CORRECTING the major problems which are draining the system. We have always provided health care for anyone in need...but ILLEGAL aliens come here illegally BY CHOICE and with complete disregard of our law. Why??? So they can feed off of our system free of charge and then send the money home to their families...
I don't think I've ever heard one American complain about LEGAL aliens. Our borders are open and so are our arms. All we ask is that people afford the same respect to us as we do to them...
Oh we're plenty upset about the expenditures, but that's not the topic here. The better question is what percentage of our current health care costs are attributed to our giving illegal immigrants free health care...
RE: How does it feel Liberals? That...
No, but could you give me that other guy's number?
