Pensions
It is interesting that the federal government provides a single Refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can also get an additional $580.00 in social assistance for a total of $2,470.00.
This compares very well to a single Pensioner who, after contributing to the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Maybe our Pensioners should apply as Refugees!
Let's send this to all Americans, so we can all be ticked off. Maybe we can get the Refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the Pensioners up to $2,470.00 and enjoy some of the money we were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 years.
Please forward this to every American -- to expose what our elected Politicians have been doing over the past 11 years - to the overtaxed American.
SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW

I don't know Mike.......I got this in e-mail and just passed it on as a post here. I am sure people can get more than that in Social Security depending on their earnings.

Thanks Mike, I had to look twice to make sure that was SSI and not Standard SS for retirement.

Mike,
Your chart was for SSI, Supplemental Security Income. Which is paid to people with very low incomes or those without SS, etc. They can not have more than $2000 in savings. The maximum paid for SS this year $2,116 if you'e 65 years and and 10 months and you earned the maximum SS amount since you were 21 years old.
