Open Question: How do you feel about How Illegal Aliens Hurt America’s Senior Citizens?

Much has been written about the harm that illegal aliens cause to Americans, legal aliens, hospitals, governments, and others in the U.S. In this article, I will explain some of the ways in which the millions of illegal aliens in America hurt America’s senior citizens.
A large percentage of people in America’s prisons are illegal aliens. Illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes in other countries prefer to be in America where crime is more lucrative and prisons have nicer accommodations.

This question is for liberals only.
Wouldn't it be better, in theory at least, if people were to be frugal and save for their own retirement, and manage their own money well, rather than depend on Social Security for retirement (assuming these people weren't wise enough to save for themselves?)
Likewise, wouldn't it be better if health care were affordable (say, only 1/3 the current cost, but high quality,) and everybody paid for their own health care with their own money, rather than depe

Resolved Question: If you raise the retirement age to 70, where are these people going to work?

I can understand that we cannot continue to support people for 20 or 30 years when they are not working but there are not enough jobs to keep everyone working until they are 70. It is hard for anyone to get a job and it is especially difficult to get a job if you are over 50. There are a number of people who have had to retire because they simply aren't able to find work. I am trying to save for an early retirement because I question if there will be work for me. I'm healthy and willing and ab

Voting Question: Illegal aliens DO NOT GET food stamps and a bunch of other government benefits?

The tax system collects its due, even from a class of workers with little likelihood of claiming a refund and no hope of drawing a Social Security check.
Illegal immigrants are paying taxes to Uncle Sam, experts agree. Just how much they pay is hard to determine because the federal government doesn't fully tally it. But the latest figures available indicate it will amount to billions of dollars in federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes this year. One rough estimate puts the amount

Voting Question: Idea to solve the housing market - what if they could borrow against their social security?
(Mon, 16 Aug 2010 22:48:47 GMT)
It would be a government loan - so they have to pay it back.
The money can be used for a purchase of a new home (20% down) or paying down a current home to 20% equity.
In retirement they can get 50% less in social security until the loan is paid off.
Since they would know that - they would become more aggressive savers.
I'll keep trying to think of things.....
