Here Rick describes a Ponzi Scheme. We need more people to grow the economy and to fund social security.
January 24, 2011 interview, Sen. Santorum said the United States is in need of more foreign workers. “I do think we need more people coming to this nation who want to be Americans to grow this economy. You want to fix the Social Security problem? Let’s have more workers producing and helping out the situation. For me, I’m willing to allow increased immigration to this country...”
A big pro-big government, pro-spending, pro-earmarks, pro-lobbying, pro-censoring the internet (pro-SOPA) like Santorum, is not my idea of a “conservative”.
“instead of returning this money to the treasury and paying down the debt, or giving tax rebates the Kenyan Clown is going to spend it” TARP - The projected long-term cost of the government’s bailout of the nation’s big banks is going to be at least $200 billion less than previously thought, a United States Treasury Department official said Sunday. The Obama administration had estimated the cost to taxpayers of the $700-billion Troubled Asset relief Program, or TARP, would be $341 billion but now says it can cut that by $200 billion.
“That improvement is driven by the fact that Treasury’s investments to stabilize the system are delivering higher returns than anticipated and that Treasury does not anticipate having to draw upon the full $700 billion in TARP authority,” the Treasury official said...
With markets now firming up and banks lining up to repay their TARP funds, “Treasury now will have some room to consider whether and how some TARP funds can be used for other purposes.”
