	<description>Rethinking our policy toward Afghanistan requires vigorous public debate and Congressional oversight. Every major war or military action since World War II has come under the microscope of Congressional oversight hearings</description>

		<description>If no troops are present in Afghanistan ... how do you want to prevent new&lt;br&gt;terrorist training camps to be established there in the future, and new terrorist&lt;br&gt;attacks commited against innocent Americans and other people around the&lt;br&gt;world?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was born in West Berlin after World War II, and I have only the best memories&lt;br&gt;in connection with the U. S. military.  Thanks to American soldiers and their &lt;br&gt;activities in Germany, I was able to grow up in a free society, while people in&lt;br&gt;the Soviet occupied East Germany had to suffer from living conditions that&lt;br&gt;Americans would never accept.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More 9-11 style terror attacks would destroy what&#039;s left of the Western &lt;br&gt;economies and bring new hardships to everyone here.  I don&#039;t think you can&lt;br&gt;imagine, what our future would look like under those conditions.  I am very&lt;br&gt;concerned about such a future.</description>

		<description>Reyes.....not an American.  He wouldn&#039;t be here if his parents wouldn&#039;t have illegally migrated to this country.&lt;br&gt;This is an insult &amp; A kick in the butt for us all~~~~ &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And this on top of the stimulus bill too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is an insult and a kick in the butt to all of us... &lt;br&gt;Get mad and pass it on - I don&#039;t know how, but maybe some good will come of this travesty.&lt;br&gt;If the immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944&lt;br&gt;until 2004.  She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and there&#039;s a &#039;catch 22&#039;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.  Each can also obtain an&lt;br&gt;additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month.  This compares to a single pensioner, who after contributing to&lt;br&gt;the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and&lt;br&gt;Guaranteed Income Supplement. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!&lt;br&gt;Consider sending this to all your American friends, so we can all be ticked off and maybe get the refugees cut back to $1,012 and the&lt;br&gt;pensioners up to $2,470.  (Better yet, don&#039;t give the illegal immigrants anything except a one way ticket to their homeland.Then we can enjoy some of the money we were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 or 60 years . &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please forward to every American to expose what our elected politicians have been doing over the past 11 years to the over-taxed American.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW</description>
