    Isn't SSA committing fraud by purposely making it difficult, and in some cases impossible, to apply for benefits? This obstruction hasn't been around for decades. Why replace antiquated systems with something that screws recipients?

    And yet the fraudulent and improper spending continued.

    Why wasn't anything done about this during Trump's first term?

    Like you say, sales taxes vary from state to state. In Hawaii, 1/2% is levied at each stage of production and 4% on the finished product. There is also a 1/2% wholesale sales tax. Effective rate is around 8%.

    The price ratio of a 2 bedroom house to average annual income has changed drastically not only because of inflation, but because all of the added costs of complying with ever changing building codes. Wages have not kept up with inflation. To keep the same ratio as in 1950, the average salary would have to be over $200,000.

    What happens when the grandmas and grandpas can't pay their bills and turn to their children and grandchildren for survival? There are more guns in America than people and they are not all owned by young people.

    Look for Israel joining in to retaliate for Yemen's latest,but unsuccessful missile attack on Tel Aviv.

    Most Americans believe that cutting wasteful spending and attacking corruption are necessary to save the country from financial calamity. It is the method that is being used to achieve this. There are laws that are being broken and essential workers being fired. But violence will eventually cause more problems.

    Exactly. Cheap for the safety and peace of mind it buys you. Being cheap has its consequences.

    Fairly certain, but not ABSOLUTELY certain.
