And your children will be taken from you and put into an orphanage. We don't care who you are.

What about people doing modeling work on a student visa?

I recently saw something on Facebook regarding Trumps's Tweet that I wanted to circle back around to.

Let's all take a moment and re-read Trump's Tweet.

Everyone notice the comma in the last sentence?

Now, my grammar skills are admittedly rusty (I couldn't dissect a sentence to save my life), but the comma after "me"... did he just call himself a total con?

AP: Mitch McConnell said he wants to consider entitlement reform.
Trump: Wants to consider what?
AP: Entitlement reform - changes to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
Trump: That I haven't heard.

Which is worse, he needed to have explained what entitlement reforms was, or that he hasn't heard that the GOP leaders in Congress are pushing for it?

A big **** you to anyone who considers entitlement reform after a massive tax cut and increase in entitlement spending.

Developing story from CNN.

EPA director of children's health, Ruth Etzel, said that without warning she has been placed on paid administrative leave. Etzel said she suspects -- but had no evidence -- that she was sidelined to stymie progress on a major lead poisoning report that was nearing completion.

What continually irks me is that Social Security is it's own separate account that we all pay into, which in turn is supposed to guarantee a retirement fund for each of us.

The SSI fund has been tapped into because it's a "free" source of money that the GOP has no intention of repaying.

Fu** the GOP. Hands off my SSI.

That's never been true, Gore's lockbox notwithstanding. Today's workers pay for today's retirees. Any surplus had been on paper only, because in the aggregate, individuals do not fully self-fund their benefits, especially as life expectancy has increased.

FICA taxes are separate line items on your overall tax bill, but they're still just another tax.

It's been handled wrong. Just like the pension system. All the ****wad actuary's ****ed up the math and were all getting ****ed over it. If they would have done conservative math on it in the first place, and actually locked the money down, everything would have been fine.

**** every actuarial that ever lived.

I recall alot of harsh words from a number of Republicans over just how much Saudi Arabia was going to pay if they were guilty in killing that guy.

Well the Saudis just admitted to it...and Trump is in the process of letting them off the hook. How long will it take for Graham, Rubio and the GOP to fold?

Just a note - SSA and SSI are two different things. The SSI pays out for non-retirement things like disabled people, who have both income and property requirements placed upon them in order to collect, in addition to proof of being disabled. SSA is the retirement benefit, with only income restrictions placed upon it.

Thank you all for correcting me. I figured I typed it kinda wrong, it was a heat-of-the-moment post.

Well, at least you're living from your car and not a van down by the river.
