We should look on the "bright" side of all this.

We may not have a genuine Social Security "Crisis" after all. The mortality of these awful diseases being spread throughout the country means American life expectancy will soon drop and older, more vulnerable people will die much earlier instead of soaking up scarce Social Security funds for decades and languishing for years in nursing homes.

Maybe the Democrats are right? Maybe there is no Social Security crisis? Maybe there are some tangible benefits to illegal immigration besides cheap nannies and gardeners, inexpensive lettuce and legions of pressure groups demanding more government largess?

RE: "Maybe there is no Social Security crisis?"

I think that you are on to something!

"Cheap" labor," virtually free domestic help, and the elimination of the looming 10-trillion dollar obligation faced by our ruling class of both Parties! That's why they are the anointed ones and we're not.

This is not sarcasm.

Meanwhile the Bush Republicans are whistling and singing, "Look on the bright side of things."
