  • Well doesn't this figure...our inept government wasting our money again? When will we learn?

    The Bush administration has scaled back plans to quickly build a "virtual fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border, delaying completion of the first phase of the project by at least three years and shifting away from a network of tower-mounted sensors and surveillance gear, federal officials said yesterday.

    Technical problems discovered in a 28-mile pilot project south of Tucson prompted the change in plans, Department of Homeland Security officials and congressional auditors told a House subcommittee.

    Though the department took over that initial stretch Friday from Boeing, authorities confirmed that Project 28, the initial deployment of the Secure Border Initiative network, did not work as planned or meet the needs of the U.S. Border Patrol.

  • People, did you know this about Social Security?

    Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if

    you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what . And it

    doesn't matter whether you are Democrat of Republican. Facts are facts!!!

    Our Social Security

    Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

    1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary.

    2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,

    3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

    4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the General Operating Fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other

    government program, and,

    5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

    Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month --

    and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the federal government to "put

    away", you may be interested in the following:

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: Which political party took Social Security from the Independent "Trust Fund" and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?

    A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically- controlled House and Senate.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: Which political party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

    A: The Democratic Party.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities?

    A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the

    Senate, while he was Vice Preside of the U.S.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

    AND MY FAVORITE:

    A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, they began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them

    even though they never paid a dime into it!

    ----------------------------------------

    Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

    If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so. But it's worth a try. How many people can

    YOU send this to? Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

    AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!

    A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

  • So you think the illegals do jobs American Citizens wouldn't?

    Have you asked the inter city poor, the starving in rural Appalachia? Are all those construction jobs in Vegas low paying? You say we'd all pay higher prices ...aren't we doing that NOW with health care, taxes and increased crime? Doesn't America have the technology to "mechanize" the "big business farms? Or is it the small farmer that is being pushed out that is need of the cheap labor? We subsidize big business farms which drives up prices... we "GIVE" Mexico millions of dollars in "AID" why not use that to subsidize the low wages! What type job is next? Garbage men? Teachers?

  • ARE GAS prices "FIXED"?

    let's see ..

    1. huge tax breaks for oil companies with RECORD profits

    2. Oil companies own the refineries and controll the output of gasoline...

    3. demand can only decreese to a point but supply is kept artificially low..which drives up prices

    4. projected summer demand (something that has been going on for YEARS) and no increase in supply?

    5.Refinery "maintenance" scheduled during the mid east crisis and right before spring?

    6.cost comparions given the price of crude now and before the gulf war ...don't yeild the same % increase for gasoline

    7. a 45 cent increase overnight?

  • Does this upset you?

    From the L.A. Times

    1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants

    working without a green card.

    2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

    3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens

    4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on

    Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

    5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican

    nationals here illegally.

    6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

    7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely

    illegal aliens from south of the border.

    8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

    9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

    10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.

    (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County ).

    (All of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)

    Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.

    Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth

    (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York )

    results from immigration.

    29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

    We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.
