The failure of the Social Security System began under
The NAZI Reagan - NAZI Bush Administration

Gov. Tommy Thompson (R) Wisconsin

Wisconsin was known to be a Welfare State. (1979)
Welfare Fraud was running rampant. People were coming from
different states. Just for the Welfare Benefits.

Thompson began his - Welfare - Work & School Program.
Those who went to school - went to school one (1) day - then quit.
They went straight down to the Social Security Office
Claiming they were to dumb and stupid to attend school
They were granted Full Social Security Benefits

Thompson then filed fraudulent reports with Congress
Claiming his program had been a success ...... It was ! !
The number of people on the Welfare Rolls .. dropped drastically
What was not said was : He took them off of welfare and put them onto Social Security

With that fraudulent report - Thompson became :
Secretary of Health and Social Services
He immediately reduced the requirements for Social Security

On claim used by Drug Dealers and Users :
I''m addicted to drugs - So I Can''t work - I have a Total Disability

Today - Prison Inmates convicted of Drug Related crimes
Over 95% of them - Were receiving - Full Disability Social Security Benefits
When they were arrested

The Drug Crises in America is funded By : The Social Security System
Gov. Tommy Thompson (R) Wisconsin

Off Topic : More Immunity Grants from the State Department

French prosecutors throw out Rumsfeld torture case
Fri Nov 23, 2007 12:27pm EST
PARIS (Reuters)

PARIS (Reuters) - The Paris prosecutors'' office has dismissed a suit against Donald Rumsfeld
accusing the former U.S. defense secretary of torture, human rights groups who brought the
case said on Friday.

The plaintiffs, who included the French-based International Federation of Human Rights Leagues
(FIDH) and the U.S. Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), said Rumsfeld had
authorized interrogation techniques that led to rights abuses.

Former prisoners at the U.S. detention camp in Guantanamo Bay are suing Rumsfeld and 10
military commanders, alleging torture and violations of their religious rights during their
detention there.

The FIDH said it had received a letter from the prosecutors'' office ruling that Rumsfeld
benefited from a "customary" immunity from prosecution granted to heads of state and
government and foreign ministers, even after they left office.

It said in a statement it was "astonished at such a mistaken argument" and said
customary immunity from prosecution did not exist under international law.

The Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq hit the headlines in April 2004 when details of physical abuse
and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers were made public

The CCR and FIDH filed suits in Germany in 2004 and 2006 in an attempt to have Rumsfeld
tried for rights abuses.

PS Because consider this - in the event the economy''s still stagnant 4 years from now, who''s going to run against Barack?

A Senator who''s voted for Barack''s budgets which have bloated deficit spending?

A Governor who''s struggled to balance the budget and create jobs in an economic downturn?

Like the bad economy hurts all of Barack''s potential competitors too . . .

This is going to sound odd, but Barack''s allure has never been his ability to generate tangible improvements in peoples'' lives - it''s been his ability to inspire.

I''m not 100% sure that 4 years from now people will expect him to have displayed a record of achievement any more than they do now. It''s quite possible he''s got the juice to blame everything on Bush for 4 more years . . .

bonoschild,

republic- are you referring to the singer Bono? If so, that is sadly typical...Spew out the labels and names, don''t research or verify facts- did you just get back from a McCain/Palin rally, or what?

In 1998 Liddy hosted a fundraiser at his house for John McCain''s re-election campaign at which guests could have their pictures taken with McCain and Liddy.[6] Over the years, Liddy, who has referred to McCain as "an old friend," has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator''s campaigns -- including $1,000 in 2008.

Correction:

crushing pressure? Well there''''''''s only one man that we know for sure is up to the task. tried and tested, John McCAin. Obama''''''''s never been tested nor has he ever had a leadership position not even so much as lead a boy scout troop.

John McCain has been tried and tested all right.

According to his own admission, he lasted less than 4 days before caving in and collaborating with the Viet Cong in Vietnam, giving them military information and making propaganda tapes for them.

Well we''ve already seen how Obama works with Republicans. He doesn''t. So lucky he''ll have a democrat house and sentate but he still can''t expect easy street. But that''s all he''s ever known is easy street so hopefully they''ll handle him with kidd gloves.

"things can''''t get worse"

Things could get much worse if McCain/Palin get into office, they represent everything Bush/Cheney did, only more so. With his erratic nature and temper and her anti-environmental pro-creationist stand, i t isn''t COULD get worse, but WILL get worse.

Understandably, some people feel that things can''''t get worse. Perhaps, they haven''''t seen anything yet.

I know you hear people on here talking about nothing could be worse than what we have and you just have to wonder how old they are.
