I'm up for that! How about I look around and see what more I can find. It is strange isn't it that no one seems to be coming on to counter people like Rorhrabach......yes, you're right, they need outed big time. I'll send you what I find! Nothing has mentioned the particular bill, if there is one to inact this.
Some talking head said this can be done by " administrative directive" , I do not know....let's hope not. Although, if what I've read is so, the Clinton Administration is who messed it up a few years ago for a lot of the disabled. People were cut off benefits when the "time period" quarters changed and won't know it until they're stuck in it.
It's not easy to explain. The SSA website says, "The number of work credits you need to qualify for disability benefits depends on your age when you become disabled. Generally, you need 40 credits, 20 of which were earned in the last 10 years ending with the year you become disabled. However, younger workers may qualify with fewer credits. "
Say you are off work for 5 years at 50 years of age. You paid in to SS for 30 years. At 55 you get sick and apply. By the time they deny you 3 or 4 times...typical...another 2-3 years has passed. You don't have enough 20 credits earned in the last 10 years. YOU have NO benefits.
The point is, "our servants" understand this, just like they understand the folly of their PC illegal immigrant scam. So few of us have gripped about this entire SSA that we are ignored or worse called crazy. I pray that the masses stop ignoring this problem before it's too late. I'm not sure that hasn't already happened. Not one candidate or their minions will touch it. Of course NONE of them have to count on the SSA system. Every one equal under the law, my white Irish Butt!
Good seeing you, sweetface.
This may be a done deal. I read a few months ago that our social security administration has already signed this deal. The only thing supposedly holding this up was getting Mexico's congress to sign on to it. Nothing was mentioned about our congress. The article said that it would only cost the US $105 million a year. This article was in the Mexican newspapers.
The Mexican newspapers have also reported how insolvent their social security system is. They have recently, within the past month, cut some of their citizens off the roles.
I agree with Fitz. This may be another way to prop up Mexico. You can bet there will be millions crossing this border claiming to have worked in the US. It will be a nightmare. The $105 million is a joke.
That's why I am so enthused about these Personal Retirement Accounts Dubyuh's gonna introduce in his second term. For folks who still have a big part of their working lives ahead of them, we will be able to set aside a portion of our FICA to create Personal Retirement Trust Funds. As this becomes popular and the "portion of FICA" increases in the upcoming years, I would hope we will have the option of opting out of the present Social Security system altogether!! To tell you the truth, I really doubt a 41-year-old like myself will ever see a penny of my Social Security anyway...at least I sure ain't counting on it!!
