Aaargh! The liberal idiocy of this welfare proposal..

No this is wonderful!  The ladies obviously must be saying that they’ve agreed to pay their back Social Security taxes (oops, 'contributions') with penalties and interest for the years they worked as mothers.   It’s the perfect way to refill the Social Security Ponzy scam to keep it afloat a few years longer.

Lets all step back a second and remember what social security was supposed to be in the first place...never a retirement...just a helping hand. No one in the Roosevelt administration ever figured that people would simply start accepting this as retirement. It was never supposed to grow to such an animal. If we intend for it to be that...then we need massive change...and then we can discuss this idea of mothers retirement pay.
