Vern Buchanan: 'No Social Security for Hitler's Henchmen'

On Thursday, U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., announced he was co-sponsoring U.S. Rep. Sam Johnsons, R-Texas, bill to deny Social Security benefits to Nazi war criminals. Johnson unveiled the bill on Wednesday night. The No Social Security for Nazis Act will deny Social Security and other benefits to Nazis who have lost their American citizenship due to their actions in the 1930s and 1940s.

No Social Security for Hitlers henchmen, Buchanan said. At a time when our own war heroes are denied proper health care, its obscene that our government is rewarding former Nazis with Social Security benefits.
