thats why i dont give a rats butt about politics. it is all bull. i spend next to no time reading about it , following it or discussing it.

every day for my 40 working years i get dressed , i go to work and i come home. nothing ever changed regardless of who is in power .

except for getting drafted at the height of vietnam nothing ever changed. i was responsible for everything that happened in my life good or bad.

i made my own financial things happen and i took care of all the problems in life.

i don't even discuss politics , i just keep playing the cards as best i can. when i get handed lemons ill make lemonade.

Your paycheck will remain the same and will probably be taxed even further to fund these useless wars we're having with everyone.
I'm not expecting Social Security to be around when I retire. I wish they'd just stop it now and stop taking thousands of dollars a year from me that I could invest for a higher rate of return.

You know? You're very passive/aggressive and it's annoying. Either say what you want to say DIRECTLY TO ME or just ****. Seriously.

People here aren't stupid and everyone knows cash benefits are being discontinued by MANY states. I provided a link to GA, but there are plenty more, including NYC.

Many people collect benefits fraudulently. This is a fact. Who knows what the percentage might be. I am working in that population and I could not even hazard a guess.
The people collecting fraudulent benefits of any kind are NOT the recipients THEMSELVES.

It's the people working for THEM. Your "facts" are WRONG.
