Yes with 43 million unwanted children, less has been paid out in public benefits, and less crime. Of course we have imported 10 million illegals to help take their place. I suggest stopping illegal immigration before trying to stop abortions.

SS is a Ponzi scheme, more people paying in just means it will last a little longer before it breaks...doesn't cure a thing.

Actually, I was thinking more in terms of the lost taxes of 43,000,000 potential wage-earners being fed into the Social Security fund, and the children of those wage-earners, etc.

That's what I thought, but IMO those "potential wage earners" would probably be at the lower end of society, and net users not payers of taxes and social security....Without responsible parents, IMO children have a much greater chance of becoming irresponsible themselves...

It's no loophole. If Kerry signs a bill increasing taxes, HE is increasing taxes, regardless of Congress' action.

You know that. I know that. Even he knows that. But it will be his excuse nonetheless.
