The largest poster I saw in the waiting room was one in Spanish proclaiming how easy it was to apply for Social Security and Medicare benefits in Spanish. They invited people to visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/espanol\/\" target=\"_blank\">Seguridad Social<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<p>I have had this idea, all the while I have been forced to contribute to this Social Security fund, that it was set up for citizens. And then I have been taught that one of the requirements of becoming a citizen of the United States was that you had to learn English.<\/p>\n<p>So, you may ask, why is a Spanish-language Social Security website needed? Naive you, to ask such a silly question. We are giving away these benefits to non-citizens, illegal aliens&mdash;oops, I meant to say undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Same thing is going on with our elections. Our friendly U.S. Department of Justice insists that people have ballots written in Spanish. This is because they like voter fraud.<\/p>\n<p>The clear message being telegraphed to illegals, I mean, undocumented people, is, &#8220;Wink, wink, go ahead and apply for these benefits, go ahead and vote, whatever. But be sure you keep voting for us Democrats because we&#8217;re the party of freebies.&#8221; And you know this message is going back home to Mexico or wherever, &#8220;Come on up! The benefits are great!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, government trustees continue to warn us of the inexorable <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/healthcare\/213491-medicare-social-security-head-toward-insolvency-at-slower-rate\" target=\"_blank\">march toward insolvency<\/a> of both Social Security and Medicare.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.libertymusings.com\" data-width=\"450\" data-show-faces=\"true\" data-send=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-4419877247826466\";\n\/* 336x280, created 7\/26\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"2207044504\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Click here to visit the Liberty Musings <a href=\"..\/\">conservative politics<\/a> home page.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"quickshare-container\">\r\n\t<ul class=\"quickshare-genericons monochrome quickshare-effect-expand\">\r\n\t\t<li class=\"quickshare-share\">Share:<\/li> \r\n\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fsocial-security-in-spanish-its-so-easy-to-apply%2F&amp;t=Social+Security+in+Spanish+%26%238211%3B+it%26%238217%3Bs+so+easy+to+apply%21+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><span class=\"quickshare-facebook\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fsocial-security-in-spanish-its-so-easy-to-apply%2F&amp;text=Social+Security+in+Spanish+%26%238211%3B+it%26%238217%3Bs+so+easy+to+apply%21+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Twitter\"><span class=\"quickshare-twitter\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fsocial-security-in-spanish-its-so-easy-to-apply%2F&amp;media=&amp;description=My+wife+was+applying+for+Social+Security+benefits+this+morning+and+I+went+with+her.+The+largest+poster+I+saw+in+the+waiting+room+was+one+in+Spanish+proclaiming+how+easy+it+was+to+apply+for+Social+Security+and+Medicare%26hellip%3B\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\"><span class=\"quickshare-pinterest\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fsocial-security-in-spanish-its-so-easy-to-apply%2F&amp;title=Social+Security+in+Spanish+%26%238211%3B+it%26%238217%3Bs+so+easy+to+apply%21&amp;source=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog&amp;summary=My+wife+was+applying+for+Social+Security+benefits+this+morning+and+I+went+with+her.+The+largest+poster+I+saw+in+the+waiting+room+was+one+in+Spanish+proclaiming+how+easy+it+was+to+apply+for+Social+Security+and+Medicare%26hellip%3B\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"quickshare-linkedin\">Linkedin<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fsocial-security-in-spanish-its-so-easy-to-apply%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Google+\"><span class=\"quickshare-googleplus\">Google+<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog:+Social+Security+in+Spanish+%26%238211%3B+it%26%238217%3Bs+so+easy+to+apply%21&amp;body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fsocial-security-in-spanish-its-so-easy-to-apply%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share via Email\"><span class=\"quickshare-email\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t<\/ul>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife was applying for Social Security benefits this morning and I went with her.
