Re: “House OKs blocking Nazis’ Social Security,” Wednesday news story.

Sometimes the line between comedy and tragedy is very thin. The U.S. government finally realized that we have been paying Social Security payments to Nazi war criminals for years. Now Congress is writing laws to stop the payments.

It seems so ironic that those of us who are retired teachers are not able to collect our Social Security because of a law called the WEP (Windfall Elimination Provision). My Social Security payments are cut by two-thirds because I draw teacher retirement. After my payment for Medicare is taken out, I’m left with a grand total of $58 a month. It would be funny if it wasn’t so unfair.
