LOL! That one is in the top-10 stupid things, I think.
Juanito will probably try, but I don't think it will work. (I've heard it mentioned by other folks I know. The problem is that Juanito's amnesty will not import highly-educated, entrepreneurial foreign nationals who would be net contributors to the U.S. tax base but rather unskilled, uneducated foreign aliens who are eager to draw benefits.) The same goes for Hussein's entitlement programs. The U.S. Government is on very shaky fiscal ground right now, since foreigners appear to have figured out that it has no intention of ever repaying its debt, or, at least, that it intends to repay its debt with inflated dollars, an effective (but not technically) default.
The U.S. is on the edge of a financial abyss. It's a pity, though, that the idiots in Congress don't realize that, with one wrong move, we could fall into something that would make the 1930s seem like a walk in the park on a sunny day.
Fees...taxes...surcharges...is there really a difference anymore?
Yes, to the IRS and our penal system.
