Mom was a homemaker, and Dad worked all his life and paid into Social
Security. Dad passed away and now Mom can barely make ends meet.
While
the possible "illegal" alien in front of her at the grocery store
buys
the name brands, Mom goes for the generic brands, and day old breads.
She doesn't have out of state calling on her phone, because she can't
afford it and shops at the thrift shops and dollar stores.? She
considers having pizza once a week "eating out". She grew up during
the
depression, watched her husband go overseas to fight in WW II a year
after their marriage, and then they went on to raise, feed and clothe
5
children, struggling to pay tuition for parochial schools.
The Senate voted this week to allow "illegal" aliens access to Social
Security benefits. I'm sorry, but how can the Senate justify this
slap
in the face to born and bred, or naturalized citizens.
It is already impossible to l ive on Social Security alone. If they
give benefits to "illegal" aliens who have never contributed, where
does that leave us that have paid into Social Security all our
working
lives?
