Obama Signs Measure Ending Social Security Payments to Nazis 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama has signed a new measure blocking taxpayer-funded Social
Security payments to suspected Nazi war criminals. The measure passed
rapidly through Congress following an Associated Press investigation
which found the United States has spent millions of dollars on benefits
for suspected Nazis. The payments had continued under a legal loophole
through which Nazis were persuaded to leave the United States in return
for keeping their benefits.
