Social Security for Dummies:

"To receive most Social Security retirement benefits, a person must be "fully insured," which simply means that he or she has worked for a long enough time and has put enough money into the system. This is tracked using credits: You receive one credit for each quarter-year you work. So if you work for an entire year, you earn a total of four credits. To be eligible for retirement benefits, you need 40 credits. Since you can't earn more than four credits per year, you have to work for at least 10 years to ensure full eligibility. You have to earn a certain amount of money each quarter to get a credit for that quarter. This amount increases each year to adjust for inflation. In 2003, it was $890."

So I gather that American citizens can retire with 18 months credit now?

Where's the flying pig picture?

No, but I think an organization of taxpayers that threatens to withhold payment if their tax money is to go to Mexican lawbreakers might have some effect!
