Look into ethnic Cuban Immigration circa early 1900's, alot of answers there to that question.

I'd be fine with the corporations that collaborated with the Nazis paying for their part of it. But otherwise, yes, this does look like just another AIPAC guilt-for-money exchange.

You mean people like Prescott Bush? GW's grandfather. Let them freekin pay for it.

I'm confused though.

Why would a Cuban native careabout holocaust survivors?

What's his motive? Did AIPAC pay him off?

It's Florida. It's like the Jewish American version of Eastbourne in the UK. Some parts of Florida have very large and wealthy Jewish retiree populations. So, there's all that campaign money to be had for pandering to the chosen ones Or is that just my cynical side shining through again?

The link you posted doesn't work. You have to type in "Holocaust" anyway to find it.

Here's an exert that mentions the federal government will pay:

"The federal government should be able to recover for the unjust enrichment of ensurers."

In laymans, we're going to reimburse you with taxpayer money no matter what the people think.

I fixed the link to a site posting the Bill.

You are not quoting the entire line. You are stopping half way through the sentence for some reason. The entire line says the following:

Holocaust victims and their families should be able to recover claims arising from Holocaust era insurance policies and the Federal Government should be able to recover for the unjust enrichment of insurers in Federal court when they consider it necessary to seek redress through the judicial system.

Meaning that the government will take insurance companies to court when they will not pay. Not that the government will pay for the claims using tax money.

I cannot find any information in this bill that state that US tax payers are going to pay any of this money. From reading the Bill it seems the bill will allow Holocaust victims and their families to file claims against insurance companies that never paid up and it will then allow the US government to go after these insurance companies in Federal Court to get compensation.

Who pays the insurance companies? Some way, some how, it still trickles down to us footing the bill.

Also, who pays the government for court costs?

Us.

Let me ask a question at large here. If it came to light that there was an insurance rip-off that had went on for 6 decades, and those well fed fat boys in the insurance business, with their big political lobby in D.C. were fighting to keep from paying, how many of you would be screaming to send these stealing swine to the pen for life?

But once it turns out that it was Jews, it's OK? And the really funny part of this is that a lot of these insurance companies are run by Jewish Americans.

Personally, I've been screwed by insurance companies in the past. I also know of some Katrina victims that don't much care for their ways either. Seeing them having to fork over some of their profits sounds pretty good.

And until we the people stop these obscene lobby groups, we'll keep on getting ripped off by big business. The truth is, the insurance companies saw a chance to welch on payments, and grabbed that chance, most likely with the complete and utter support of a lot of politicians of that day, with a few bribes and kickbacks to seal the swindle.

And now some of you dislike Jews to the point that you would rather see a bloated wealthy group like the world banking and insurance cartels get by with an outright theft, than to see a Jew get what his father or uncle paid for?

What's wrong with standing up for what's right, no matter who is right and who is wrong?
