I said make them legal to work. That does not mean citizenship.

So whoever did the math, whether it was Rush Limbaugh or Keith Olberman, is absolutely wrong. You can't have someone pay in small amounts of money for a period of time and then draw out larger amounts of money for possibly a much longer time and expect it to work mathematically. Especially when SSec benefits mirror the investment results of treasurys.
The idea was not that they would come here and be citizens, just that they would come here to
work. I don't think it would work for a lot of reasons, but basically it was saying they would come here, work and support our older folks, then leave.

Easier than blaming the people who elect them, I suppose.

Study history. You are wrong. Communism has failed, some socialist states have failed, but it is hardly universal.

No, its the fault of my choosing a career that did not pan out.. and some other things I prefer not to get into here.
However, no where in it is anything about being dependent, not working or any of the other things you like to throw out.
