I know. It's not very fair. My immigrant grandmother came here, became a citizen, didn't work a day in her life and got 20 years worth of social security. All legal, but unbelievably unfair.

Please don't suggest that you have the slightest idea about what SS is then make a gibberish post like this.

What FDR did was force the US to stick a toe into civilization and not let the old and feeble starve.

People like your grandmother are the essence of what the program was designed to do.

Fairness has nothing to do with it.

Real countries don't let folks starve.

We can be a real country or a Republican designed self serving greed utopia.

You choose....
