indeed.
however, they are phasing that out. it is not possible for a US citizen to become a citizen of another country and still maintain their citizen status here. they want you to either stay a US citizen or get the hell out. and those coming in are no longer being given a choice to stay a citizen of their own country after they become a US citizen.
i don't get the government anymore, which is part of the reason why i want out. the only thing that would be impacted would be my social security, but they are thinking about tightening their belts and sharply reducing benefits for disabled people to make sure there is enough money for the retirees (since the number is growing exponentially with the baby boomers now reaching the age of retirement).
so, if they do away with SSD, or reduce it to a point where i wouldn't have any use for it, then i would have to think about opening a little bodega in CR in an effort to keep the cash coming in.
