Good to have immigrants in USA

I went to SSA(Social Security Administration Office) this morning with my friend for his work. I was reading through the manuals lying out there for everyone's understanding.

I was reading basics about Social Security. As you all know, Social Security System is mainly for retirement, but not just that it is more than that. The youngsters today will work for today's elderly people's pension. Today's elderly person had worked for yesterday's elderly person.

In the manuals, I read that 36 million of Americans are above 65+ age as on date. But in 2041, looks like the elderly people will be doubled, because of baby-boom problem. The young people on that day, will not be able to feed as much as these guys had contributed. So elderly people on 2041 will be abundant with less young folks, which is going to be a problem.

My answer for this problem would be - Just get as much non-immigrants possible from outside the country to get them pay the taxes more as on date and anytime. This will make sure at anytime they fill the gap of less youngsters in the country right??!!!

Your comments on the idea??!

Tech Support for fun: Wife 1.0 software

Dear Tech Support:

Last summer I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. But this
new program has created an unexpected miniature version of itself
which is using up a lot of space and valuable resource. In addition,
Wife 1.0 has installed itself into all my other programs and now
monitors all other system activity such as the applications 'Poker
Night 103','Football 5.0', 'Hunting' and 'Fishing 7.5', and 'Racing
36'. I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while
attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going
back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0.

Please help!

Thanks, Troubled User..

REPLY:

Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking
that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0
is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run
EVERYTHING!! ! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to
return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge
the program files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed
to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under
Warnings-Alimony- Child Support. I recommend that you keep
Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the
background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.

The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE
because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command
before the system will return to normal anyway. Wife 1.0 is a great
program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes
with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 30, Cook It
1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these
programs.Improper use will cause the system to launch the program
Nag Nag 9.5 .Once this happens, the only way to improve the
performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I
recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 !

WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary
With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife
1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,
Tech Support

Thank You Lord - A Forward from Human Resource Center

THANK YOU LORD........

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world. Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. "How is it that? There's no work going on here?" I asked. "So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.


"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord"

"What blessings should they acknowledge? " I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep .. you are richer than 75% of this world."

"If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity. "

Also "If you woke up this morning with more health than illness....! you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 700 million people in the world"

"If you can attend a prayer meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death .. you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world."

"If your parents are still alive and still married .. you are very rare."

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you are unique to all those in doubt and despair."

"Ok, what now? How can I start? "

"If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all."


Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

"Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with
