There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class.
One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretch-ing as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter.
The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting com-munists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist re-gime. In the midst of his story, he looked at the pro-fessor and asked a strange question.
He asked: “Do you know how to catch wild pigs?”
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke. “You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free food.”
“When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.”
“They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.”
“The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.”
“Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgot-
ten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.”
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America. The government keeps pushing us toward Com-munism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supple-mental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsi-dies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a
time as the govern-ment forces us to participate in many of these programs whether or not we want to.
One should al-ways remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can
never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
If you see that all of this wonderful govern-ment “help” is a problem confronting the future of the American Republic, you might want to share this with your friends.
If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably not share this.
But, God help us all when the gate slams shut!

By Merrill MatthewsObamacare has pushed us over the
entitlements tipping point. In 2011 some 49.2 percent of U.S. households received benefits from one or more government programs—about 151 mil-lion out of an estimated 306.8 million Americans—according to U.S. Census Bureau data released last October.
Currently, around 6 million to 7 mil-lion Americans who have signed up for Obamacare are receiving taxpayer-provided subsidies (though the admin-istration’s numbers cannot be trusted, it’s all we have to work with). There are another 3 million who have signed up for Medicaid.
That means some 10 million Ameri-cans—or a total of about 161 million—are now getting government subsidies (though the final number might be somewhat lower since some may have been receiving benefits already).
Thus, perhaps 52 percent of U.S. households—more than half—now re-ceive benefits from the government, thanks to President Obama. And Mr.
WE’VE CROSSED THE TiPPiNG POiNT
Most Americans now receive gov’t. benefits
Entitlement is just getting started. If Obamacare is not repealed millions more will join the swelling rolls of those dependent on government hand-outs.
Conservatives have long dreaded the day when the U.S. crossed the half-way mark because of all the implica-tions for individual and fiscal responsi-bility. As Benjamin Franklin reportedly said, “When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” They learned that from the 2008 election and turned out in big numbers again in 2012.
It’s not that all of those Americans are “takers,” as former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney suggested. Some 42 million are seniors receiving Social Security and Medi-care. They aren’t getting something for free; they faithfully paid into the system for decades with the expecta-tion that they would be getting it back at retirement. And they deserve every

Sirhan Sirhan, who is serving a life sentence in prison for the June 1968 assassination of U.S. presidential can-didate Robert F. Kennedy, failed to persuade a federal judge to set him free because he was innocent of the crime.
In a January decision, U.S. Dis-trict Judge Beverly Reid O’Connell in Los Angeles said Sirhan “failed to meet the showing required for actual innocence” that might excuse his having failed to seek his freedom sooner in federal court.
Sirhan had filed his petition for ha-beas corpus, which could have resulted in his freedom, in May 2000.
William Pepper, a lawyer for Sirhan, did not immediately respond on Tues-day to requests for comment.
Sirhan, now 70, was wrestled to the ground with a gun in his hand after Kennedy was shot on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, shortly after Kennedy won the Califor-nia Democratic presidential primary. Kennedy died the next day.
The defendant was sentenced to death in 1969, but his sentence was commuted to life in prison after Cali-fornia banned the death penalty.
Sirhan was last denied parole in 2011, and is being housed in a state prison in San Diego. His next parole “suitability” hearing will be held by March 2, 2016, a spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said.
In seeking Sirhan’s freedom, de-
Kennedykillerdeniedfreedom
fense lawyers argued that he had not been physically in position to fire the fatal shot, and that a sec-ond shooter and gun may have been re-sponsible.
The judge, however, said Sirhan’s case was not strong enough.
“Though petitioner advances a num-ber of theories regarding the events of June 5, 1968, petitioner does not dispute that he fired eight rounds of gunfire in the kitchen pantry of the Ambassador Hotel,” O’Connell wrote. “Petitioner does not show that it is more likely than not that no juror, act-ing reasonably, would have found him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”
In rejecting Sirhan’s bid for free-dom, O’Connell accepted an August 2013 recommendation by U.S. Magis-trate Judge Andrew Wistrich.
Kennedy was a U.S. senator from New York when he died at age 42. His older brother John F. Kennedy, the for-mer U.S. president, was 46 when he was assassinated in November 1963.
The case is Sirhan v Galaza et al, U.S. District Court, Central District of California, No. 00-05686.

People who got a subsidy from ObamaCare to help pay for their health insurance are getting a not-so-pleasant surprise on their taxes: H&R Block reports that 52% of peo-ple who got subsidies have to pay back a chunk of that money to the government.
The aver-age payback is $530, equating to a 17% drop in returns, reports the Hill. The main reason for the pay-back? Filers’ 2014 income came in higher than expected, and thus the subsidies they received were too high.
“It’s costing taxpayers a large percentage of their refund—a re-fund many of them count on to pay household expenses,” say H&R Block VP Mark Ciaramitaro. The fig-ures are based on only the first six weeks of the filing season and could change. On the upside, about 38% of ObamaCare filers found out they were getting an average credit of $366 because their subsidies were too low, reports Forbes. So far, the average penalty for those without health insurance is $172, and Forbes thinks many filers who learn of the penalty will take advantage of a new special enrollment period (from March 15 to April 30) put into place for just that reason.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald last year took over a de-partment facing no small amount of scandal—and now he’s stirred up con-troversy of his own. It started when he was being taped by CBS while speak-ing with a homeless veteran in Los An-geles, the Huffington Postreports. The man said he’d been in special forces, to which the former Procter & Gamble CEO, who’s a military veteran himself, said, “Special forces? What years? I was in special forces!” But he wasn’t: He spent most of his service in the 82nd
VA chief lied, said hewas Special Forces
Airborne Division. “I have no excuse,” McDonald tells the Huffington Post. “I was not in special forces.”
In a statement to the Military Times, McDonald notes that the comment was “inaccurate, and I apologize to anyone that was offended by my misstatement. I have great respect for those who have served our nation in special forces.” He explained the situation to the Huffing-ton Post: “I reacted spontaneously and I reacted wrongly” to the man saying he had been in special forces. He says he had “no intent in any way to describe my record any different than it is.” The White House says it takes McDonald
“at his word.” But just last week, the Military Times notes, McDonald said on Meet the Press that 60 VA employ-ees had recently been let go over the hospital scandal; he then walked back the claim, saying just eight had been fired.
U.S. offersrecord bountyfor a hacker
including racketeering, identity theft, fraud, and money laun-dering. The previous biggest reward for a cybercriminal was the $1 million offered for Ro-manian eBay scammerNicolae Popescu, reports Vocativ.
Bogachev and his gang were also behind the “Cryp-tolocker” ransomware that held files on a user’s computer hostage until they paid up, authorities say. “Although we were able to significantly disrupt the GameOver Zeus and Cryptolocker criminal enterprise, we have not yet brought Bogachev himself to justice,” a Justice Department spokeswoman says.
Bogachev is believed to still be in Russia, and even with the reward, it may be hard to arrest him because there is no extradition treaty with the U.S., reports the BBC. (An-other hacker says he was busted after using his cat’s name as his password.)

By Jenn GidmanAs if online dating weren’t fraught
with enoughpitfalls, an IBM study pub-lished yesterday found that 26 of 41 popular Android dating apps, or 63%, had “medium to severe” security vul-nerabilities that could leave users open to hacks, Reuters reports. And almost half of the companies reviewed for the report had workers who tapped into such apps—and then used the same phone at work, opening up their em-ployers to cyberissues as well. “Your contacts list … your stored images. [Hackers] can actually also potentially access features on the device—so your camera, your microphone, even your GPS location,” says the security intel-ligence director of IBM Security, per CBS New York.
How likely (and incredibly creepy) is that? The report reveals 73% of top dating apps can tell your past and pres-ent GPS locations, while 34% can get into your camera. Which means, on a not-so-romantic front, that hackers can possibly stalk your daily activity, scroll

through images, and even take over your dating profile, IBM’s Security In-telligence notes. And if the electronic intruders can hijack your camera and mic, they can potentially spy on busi-ness meetings and access sensitive company data on your phone. IBM says it doesn’t want to discourage people from using the apps, but it preaches some common-sense tips: Don’t give out too much personal info on dating sites, don’t ignore the security updates and patches your phone occasionally asks you to make, and mix up your pass-words for all online accounts and email addresses. (Maybe this informational STD app will keep hackers away.)

You may qualify forVA’s Special MonthlyCompensation program
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Special Monthly Com-pensation (SMC) program may provide benefits in addition to, or instead of, disability compensation if there is loss (or loss of use of ) a limb, sight, speech, hearing, mobility, sexual organ or func-tioning, or for certain other disabili-ties. There may be eligibility for SMC if the veteran is unable to leave the house or bed without help or is in need of regular help from another person in
performing the basic tasks of everyday life, such as eating, bathing, dressing, toileting and transferring. Because VA’s Special Monthly Compensation pro-gram is one of the most confusing and intricate programs that the VA offers, it is important that you seek assistance from an accredited veterans service of-ficer.

Veterans United Home Loans of San Diego announces the launch of free monthly VA home loan seminars.
Statistics show that more than 80 percent of veterans and service mem-bers could not qualify for a conven-tional home loan. A large majority, however, could qualify for the VA Loan. Unfortunately, the benefits often go unused due to the lack of awareness of advantages or even the existence of the VA home loan program. Recognizing this, Veterans United has committed themselves to closing this knowledge
gap.With so many employees who are
veterans themselves, Veterans United truly understands what a difference the VA home loan benefit can make in a veteran’s life. Who better deserves the American Dream than those who have fought to protect it? That’s why Veterans United is now providing free monthly VA home loan seminars.
These seminars will cover every as-pect of the VA home loan benefit and the home loan process. Veterans Unit-

By Jillian VentronePrior learning credit is college cred-
it that an institution of higher learning may grant for non-traditional learning, or learning that occurs outside of an ac-ademic classroom. Why is it important to you? Because it can help you achieve degree completion at a faster rate.
Eligible veterans have thirty-six month of GI Bill benefits available to them. Think about the flexibility you might gain by attending a school that will grant you free prior learning cred-its.
You might be able to graduate ear-ly and save some GI Bill benefit for a
Prior learning creditfor service members
master’s degree or enter the workforce earlier.
Applicable prior learning is done in areas of life such as work experiences, military and volunteer service, and training programs. While not widely advertised, many schools do award it, but will demand evidence of the type of learning that occurred. For service members, prior learning credit can be demonstrated through submission of their Joint Services Transcript (JST), formerly the Sailor and Marine ACE Registry Transcript or SMART, as well as subject-matter proficiency exams such as those completed through the
College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
A service member’s JST lists all of the training that he or she completed while on active duty. This includes formal schools, MOS or rating-related training, and other instruction, such as the MCI courses that Marines must complete, and the recommendations for credit that the American Council on Education (ACE) has documented. This type of credit is nontraditional in nature and is awarded by the good grace of the school. While veterans and active-duty personnel are often granted credit in
this manner, credit amounts can vary greatly by school. Institutions that award credit based on the JST are dem-onstrating the value they place on the pre-existing knowledge that veterans have gained through their service.
CLEP exams are more widely ac-cepted than the JST. CLEPs are offered for general education credit courses only: think math, English, natural sci-ence, social science, and history. If your college awards credit in this manner consider testing. CLEPs do not award grades. Successful completion of an exam basically knocks out the demand for that class. For example, passing the psychology CLEP can help you knock out one of your social and behavioral science class requirements without ever attending the class.
While on active duty the first test in each subject area is free. If you fail an exam, you will wait three months to retest and pay a fee. Fees vary per site aboard military bases. In many cases, veterans and spouses can test aboard bases as well, but they will be charged a fee for every exam. Free study material for CLEP exams can be found at www.petersons.com/dod.
If you are attending school or pre-paring to start, ask your institution if they accept credit through submission and revue of your JST and for success-ful completion of CLEP exams. Access-ing and sending your JST is free, and most schools do not charge a fee for the revue. CLEP test preparation material is free and if you pass on the first try, so is the test.

Boxing fans have waited six long years to see the two greatest fighters of this generation square off in the ring. Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pac-quiao finally got a deal done last week to meet on May 2 in Las Vegas, and the intense demand to see the latest “fight of the century” is producing historical pricing levels for those that want to se-cure tickets.
Tickets have not gone on sale to the public yet, but they are expected to start at $1,000 with ringside seats fetching a face value of $5,000. This will result in a total gate of around $40 million for the 16,800-seat MGM Grand Garden Arena. It would double the previous biggest gate in boxing his-tory, which was $20 million for the May-weather vs. Canelo Alvarez fight billed as “The One” in September 2013.
The reality is that few tickets will wind up available to the public with the MGM Grand, sponsors, promoters and the fighters snapping up many of the ducats before they go on sale. You
Ticket pricing for May 2 fight goes berserk
can purchase tickets on the secondary market through online sellers like Seat-Geek, which already has 422 seats for sale via ticket brokers who for the most part have re-lationships with the venue or other sources where they know they will have access to tickets.
Early pricing is through the roof, but it is not clear if it is realistic, as no tickets have been sold yet through SeatGeek, according to Con-nor Gregoire, an analyst with the com-pany. The cheapest seat listed for the fight is $4,116 with a median price of $9,218. Floor seats start at $22,441. This compares to an average secondary price of $2,168 for Mayweather-Alva-rez. Gregoire expects tickets for May-weather-Pacquiao to eventual settle in at least twice as high The One.
Celebrities like Jack Nicholson, 50
Cent, Will Smith and Leo DiCaprio are used to getting comped tickets when they attend a big fight, but Bob Arum who runs Top Rank, which is co-pro-moting Mayweather-Pacquiao, says not this time. “Nobody is going to get these tickets without paying for them,” Arum told ESPN 1100 in Las Vegas Monday. When he gets a celebrity call, Arum says he is routing them to the MGM
which has the biggest block of tickets.Ringside seats will be even harder
to come by. “Because of the price of the tickets, MGM, for example, will only give ringside tickets to its customers who have a $250,000 line of credit,” said Arum. Gamblers are expected to use their $250K credit line that week-end and not sit on it either.

Schitt’s Creek will be one of your new favorite comedies if you let it. The Canadian import, which recently premiered on Pop (formerly the TV Guide Network), has all the makings of a cult hit. The plot—a very rich (and out of touch) family loses everything and must start over in a town they own, bought on whim because of its name—coupled with the right stars makesS-chitt’s Creek a must-see for any fan of smart TV comedies.
You just can’t go wrong with Cath-erine O’Hara and Eugene Levy. The comedy legends are husband and wife Johnny and Moira Rose. Their chemis-try and timing remains spot on. Joined by Dan Levy—son of Eugene, the two created the comedy together—An-nie Murphy and Chris Elliott, O’Hara and Eugene Levy are the anchors of a strong show that deserves your atten-tion.
Can you deny wanting to see O’Hara playing a former TV star having a meltdown while packing up various
items—including a bevy of wigs she has named—and shouting, “My very soul has been kidnapped. There’s no ransom, no one’s coming to save me! No…no, did you put Christy with Rob-in? They don’t like each other! No, no!” She’s referring to her wigs, obviously. O’Hara is given some of the best ma-terial—she’ll be your new favorite TV mom alongside Empire’s Cookie if you let her—and for good reason. After all, she is Catherine O’Hara.
“There is a very small amount set aside for you and one asset the govern-ment has allowed you to maintain,” a government official tells the family.
“The kids,” Moira replies.Johnny bought the town of Schitt’s
Creek as a joke for son David (Dan Levy who inherited his father’s com-edy chops and holds his owns with the scene-stealers known for their improv backgrounds) and the family is allowed
Paddling up‘Schitt’s Creek’a load of fun
to keep it—it’s basically worthless—and live there amongst the…townsfolk. It’s a culture shock in the best way pos-sible. The premise lends itself to fish out of water comedy, with plenty of kooky townsfolk and judgment from the formerly rich Roses.
Pop sent out five episodes of the series for review—unedited, so there were some f-bombs that make it all the more hilarious—and it’s a wild, hu-morous ride. O’Hara’s Moira steals the show, you won’t want to miss when she
teaches the local kids a drama class, but Dan Levy’s David isn’t far behind with great one-liners and spot-on deliv-ery.
The dysfunction is real and it’s very entertaining. We’ll leave you with this Moira line upon hearing her daughter, Alexis, is attempting to leave the fam-ily:
“Well, that is not happening and I am appalled that my baby girl has turned into a selfish, duplicitous whore—oh hello!”

LaughsFamily tradition
A man wants to cook a fancy meal for his wife, so he makes his mother’s recipe for beef roast. Before putting the roast into the oven, he cuts off the end. His wife asks him why he did that.
“I dunno,” he says. “My mom always did that. I think it has to do with the meat cooking more evenly.”
“But that’s a very expensive cut of meat,” says the wife, “and you just threw away a good piece of it!”
So they call the mother. The son asks, “Mom, when you make beef roast, why do you always cut off the end?”
“I’m not sure,” she says. “My mother always did that. I think it was a super-stition she had from the old country.”
So they call the grandmother. “Grandma, when you made beef roast, why did you always cut off the end?”
“This probably isn’t a problem for you,” she replies, “but my pan was very small.”
Fairy tale beginning“Daddy,” a little girl asked her fa-
ther, “do all fairy tales begin with ‘Once upon a time’? “
“No, sweetheart,” he answered. “Some begin with ‘If I am elected.’”
Zen of vend“Make me one with every-
thing.” says the Buddhist to the tofu hot dog vendor.
Then, after getting his tofu hot dog, the Buddhist hands the vendor a twenty dollar bill.
The vendor takes the money and begins helping the next customer.
The Buddhist looks puzzled and asks the vendor, “Where is my change?”
The vendor replies, “Change comes from within.”
Serious negotiatorThe maid asked for a raise, and the
wife was upset.She asked, “Now, Helen, why do you
think you deserve a pay increase?”Helen: “There are three reasons.
The first is that I iron better than you.”Wife: “Who said that?”Helen: “Your husband.”Wife: “Oh.”Helen: “The second reason is that I
am a better cook than you.”Wife: “Who said that?”Helen: “Your husband.”Wife: “Oh.”Helen: “The third reason is that I am
better at sex than you.”Wife: “Did my husband say that as
well?”Helen: “No, the gardener did.”Wife: “So, how much do you want?”
Financial transparencyA man is getting into the shower
just as his wife is finishing up her show-er when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…
“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
Know your jobA priest offered a lift to a Nun. She
got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember
Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Ar-riving at the convent, the nun went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Word playA fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax

Reverse psychologyJust some advice for newly married
men. You have been drinking with friends, it’s 2 am and you want to enter your house quietly so as not to waken your beloved.
As you near home you cut the car lights, turn off the engine and coast up to your house. Close the car door very quietly. Close the front door very qui-etly and tiptoe up to the bedroom. Just as you are about to get in bed, she turns over and yells “where the hell have you been till 2 am?”
Yours has been a misguided ap-proach. You should instead leave the car lights on bright, gun the engine, and squeal to a halt in front of the house. Slam the door to the car. Slam the door to the house, and stomp up the stairs singing “I’m in the mood for love.” I guarantee she will pretend to be asleep.

shirt making factory, al-lowing 10 convicts—in-cluding experienced stickup men “Handsome” Harry Pierpont, Charles Makley and John Ham-ilton—to get the drop on their guards and escape. The timing couldn’t have been better. Dill-inger had been arrested at a girlfriend’s house only a few days before, and was languishing in jail in Lima, Ohio. On October 12, the newly liberated Pierpont and two other men waltzed in the front door and
busted him out, gunning down the county sheriff in the process.
4. He robbed police stations. While most criminals stayed as far away from lawmen as possible, Dillinger was will-ing to march right into their headquar-ters with gun in hand. Shortly after be-ing sprung from jail in October 1933, Dillinger and his band carried out a pair of audacious heists on the police stations at Auburn and Peru, Indiana. As bewildered deputies looked on, the gangsters emptied their gun cabinets of Thompson submachine guns, shotguns, rifles, tear gas guns, bullet proof vests and more than a dozen pistols. The

Born in Indianapolis, John Dillinger, the Tommy gun-wielding gangster, robbed at least a dozen banks and led police and federal agents on a yearlong chase across the Midwest before being gunned down outside a Chicago mov-ie theater in July 1934. Be-low, learn 10 surprising facts about the short and infamous life of the man the authori-ties branded “Public Enemy No. 1.”
1. Dillinger served in the Navy. Dill-inger began his criminal career at the tender age of 20, when he boosted a car near Mooresville, Indiana and went on a joyride through Indianapolis. Confront-ed and nearly gunned down by police, he decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy to escape arrest. Dillinger later spent a few months shoveling coal aboard the battleship Utah, but the future gang-ster didn’t take well to military disci-pline. He was repeatedly censured for insubordination and going AWOL, and spent several days in solitary confine-ment before finally deserting for good in December 1923.
10 thingsyou may not know about
crooks immediately put the arse-nal to use committing a wave of bank heists that left two police officers dead.
5. Dillinger was a nationwide celeb-rity. Dillinger’s famous robberies and getaways saw his face splashed across newspapers and newsreels as much as some Hollywood stars. An Indianapo-lis lottery on when he would be cap-tured proved so popular it had to be shut down, and his father was offered a small fortune to do public speaking engagements. When Dillinger and his gang were arrested in Tucson, Arizona, scores of people filed through the city jailhouse just for the opportunity to lay eyes on the dashing criminal. Business-es even used him as an unsanctioned celebrity endorsement. Upon learn-ing that the car-loving outlaw drove their automobile, one Hudson dealer-ship hung a banner reading, “Dillinger Chooses the 1934 Hudson For His Personal Use.” When the robber later switched to a Ford, the company print-ed brochures saying, “Will they catch John Dillinger? Not until they get him out of a Ford V8!”
6. He escaped from jail using a wooden gun. Dillinger was arrested in Tucson, Arizona in January 1934, after locals recognized a few of his heavily
DILLINGER, cont’d. on Page 20
2. He spent most of his adult life in prison. In September 1924, a 21-year-old Dillinger was sent to prison after being nabbed in a botched robbery on an elderly grocer. The young hood spent the next eight and a half years doing time with some of the Mid-west’s most hardened convicts and get-ting a comprehensive education in the tricks of the criminal trade. Only days after winning parole in May 1933, a thoroughly unrehabilitated Dillinger hooked up with an Indianapolis gang and committed a series of grocery store and restaurant stickups. He graduat-ed to bank robbery a few weeks later, kicking off the yearlong crime spree that would make him the nation’s most wanted gangster.
3. Dillinger helped bust his fellow gang members of out of jail. Dillinger committed a string of high profile heists during the summer of 1933, but he was desperate to reunite with some of his old prison buddies to form an ace bank robbing gang. That September, he began plotting to break his would-be accomplices out of the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City. Dillinger con-spired to have three .38 pistols hidden in a crate of thread bound for the jail’s
Did You Know?Shortly after John Dillinger’s death in
July 1934, several molded plaster casts
were taken of his lifeless face. FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover proudly dis-
played one of these death masks out-
side his office for the rest of his career.

wanted accomplices. Following a flurry of media coverage, he was extradited to Indiana and confined to the jail in Crown Point to await trial. Authorities boasted that the jail was escape proof, but Dillinger would only remain a resi-dent for a little over a month. On March 3, 1934, he forced his way out of the main cellblock by brandishing a phony gun. Dillinger claimed he had fash-ioned it from a block of wood, a razor handle and a coat of black shoe polish, but reports would later suggest it was smuggled into the prison by one of his attorneys. In any case, Dillinger used the wooden pistol to round up several guards and get his hands on a Thomp-son submachine gun. Once armed with real firepower, he made his way to the prison garage, stole the sheriff’s person-al police car and motored to Chicago. Amazingly, Dillinger was back in ac-

7. Dillinger underwent facial recon-structive surgery to hide his identity. By late-May1934, Dillinger’s reputation—and his easily recognizable mug—was beginning to catch up to him. He’d been shot in the leg during a shootout with agents from the FBI (then known as the Division of Investigation) in late March, and had only narrowly escaped an am-bush by G-Men at a resort in Wisconsin a month later. Desperate to change his appearance, he paid $5,000 to enlist the services of Wilhelm Loeser and Harold Bernard Cassidy, a pair of underworld plastic surgeons. After anaesthetiz-ing Dillinger with ether, the doctors gave the gangster a rudimentary face-lift, removed several moles and scars, filled in his famous cleft chin and used chemicals to burn off his fingerprints. The procedure proved excruciating,
and Dillinger was decidedly unsatisfied with the results. Upon looking in the mirror, he supposedly exclaimed, “Hell, I don’t look any different than I did!”
8. He was killed after being betrayed by a friend. Dillinger spent most of July 1934 holed up in a Chicago apartment with new girlfriend Polly Hamilton and brothel owner named Anna Sage. He successfully evaded police for most of that month—even attending Chicago Cubs baseball games—but his days were numbered. After the price on his head soared to $25,000, the Romanian-born Sage contacted the FBI and offered to give him up for part of the reward money as well as aid in avoiding depor-tation. On July 22, 1934, federal agents were watching as Sage, Hamilton and Dillinger went to see the Clark Gable crime film “Manhattan Melodrama” at Chicago’s Biograph Theater. When the trio stepped out onto the sidewalk shortly after 10:30 p.m., agents closed in with guns drawn. Dillinger struggled to pull a.380 automatic from his pocket, but was quickly cut down in a hail of bullets. He died on the scene.
9. The federal government spent more money trying to catch him than he stole. Dillinger and his gang robbed at least a dozen banks and netted a total
loot of around $500,000 (roughly $7 mil-lion in modern day currency), but his take paled in comparison to the amount of money the FBI spent trying to catch him. According to the Associated Press, the nascent government agency racked up a tab of some $2 million on the man-hunt, which included the bill for sever-al agents dedicated solely to Dillinger. Historians have since credited the hunt for John Dillinger—and his eventual death at FBI hands—with helping legit-imize the Bureau and establish it as the nation’s most famous crime unit.
10. His body was viewed by thou-sands of spectators. Dillinger’s aston-ishing celebrity became more apparent than ever after his death. Souvenir-hunters dabbed handkerchiefs in his blood at the scene of the shooting, and thousands of people lined up to view his bullet-riddled body when it was put on display at the morgue. A mob of spectators later gathered at the funeral home, and despite efforts to keep its date a secret, more than 5,000 people appeared at the cemetery for his burial. Dillinger’s casket was encased in ce-ment to deter grave robbers, but his headstone later had to be replaced sev-eral times after people claimed pieces of it as keepsakes.

in short, the exact opposite of Obama’s policies—become very protective of their benefits. And that makes change difficult.
The bigger issue is the public at large. Conservatives worked so hard to repeal Obamacare over the past few years because once the taxpayer-provided subsidies started to flow, mil-lions would embrace the entitlement and repeal would be very tough. Es-pecially when the media start running stories about people losing their cover-age because of heartless Republicans changing the law—although forcing millions to lose their coverage because of Obamacare didn’t stop liberals.
They knew if they were able to ride out the Obamacare rollout storm, the law would likely be here to stay. Frank-lin D. Roosevelt captured this mental-
ity when he observed: “We put those payroll contributions there so as to give contributors a legal, moral and po-litical right to collect their pensions.… With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social se-curity program.”
And no politicians have; indeed, they have only grown the program over the years.
The country has crossed the entitle-ment tipping point. The only hope is to try to transition some of these pro-grams, primarily Social Security but also Medicare, into personal retire-ment accounts. They would, over time, be better funded, actually belong to the worker or retiree, and, perhaps most importantly, they would take mil-lions of Americans off the government benefits roll.
