“I have the feeling 350,000 border crosses every month are the ones we will be doing battle with.”

These freeloaders are cowards
who are too afraid to do
battle in their own countries
to insure themselves a
“better” life.
This totally open border
policy is the first step in
the progressive agenda of the
new world order and wealth
redistribution.
Our government is deploying
Robin Hood tactics, robbing
from the rich to give to the
poor.
If these invaders do rise up,
it will be because Robin Hood
promised them something
they’re never going to get,
and it won’t take long for
them to figure that out. This
invasion isn’t to better
their lives, it’s to make
ours worse.

Years ago AARP had an article on how the SS system was set up and could not fail. They said it was NOT a PONZI SCHEME as Ponzi schemes always collapse when they cannot bring in new money at the bottom. SS has not collapsed therefore it is not a Ponzi Scheme.

A few pages on in the same AARP magazine was an article by Jane Bryant Quinn on how the SS is set up. Without saying the word “Ponzi” it is set up the same way by forcing people in at the bottom.

Now they are running out of new “investors” in it so are trying to flood the country with new illegal immigrants to make up the difference.

What is killing the SS system? It is not what you suspect. The original SS system had a man retire at 62 but the life span was 57 years.
A woman retires at 62 and the life span for them was 65 years. So most people would die off before retirement allowing the government to keep the excess money.

Then came penicillin and people started living longer, much longer. Now the system is going broke. Time to force in new “investors” like in a Ponzi Scheme.

The Social Security surplus contributions continue to be moved to the general fund and spent by Congress. Any discussion on “protecting” or “saving” Social Security should begin with ways to end that spending. There is no money in the Social Security Trust Fund, merely government bonds. A government bond is only a promise by the government to collect money from future taxpayers. Not even the federal government can spend and save the same money. Most Ponzi schemes fail, Social Security only survives because its victims are mandated by law to participate. The solution is to allow social Security participants to put a portion of their contributions in real, actual investments and own their own accounts.
