Here we go. Mega MAGA Mess is coming. Is SS, MediCare etc gone... soon?
He did not say over four years either, so it may well be you caught in a lie again. 😆 Let's assume you are right. It's around 7.5% of the federal budget. It's not small considering that it has been consistenly increasing over time, whatever the political colour of the governmemt. Where will cuts be made if not on welfare programs? Will GOP congressmen vote cuts affecting the people who voted for them? -

The Congressional issue = watch out for political opponents to DOGE saying that Congress has the final say. Correct. Here's the problem. Congress has hundreds of agency programs operating with expired authorisation. Literally laws are being enforced by people who don't have the necessary permissions. So all Trump has to do is sign an executive order banning all these programs from continuing, and force Congress to go back over each and every one and either cancel the program or re-authorise. Sounds easy, right? The problem is - Congress doesn't have the time to re-authorise every program. But the problem for Trump is - some of the programs will suit his agenda. The next two years is going to see a Battle Royale in DC, and with people such as Sanders, Fetterman and Khanna lining up behind DOGE we may well witness the American Left saving Trump's MAGA agenda. This is going to be fun. -

Syrian government falls in stunning end to 50-year rule of Assad family
Why shouldn't they ? If both sides of a conflict want to buy weapons from the USA , then why shouldn't the USA sell weapons to both sides ? Its a business -

Thai lawyer argues most expats won’t be impacted by personal income tax
The financial account that I had (which froze my account) also requires a home residence/address, but it also required one reside in that home country address >182 days per year. I was only in that 'home address' two to three weeks a year (it was a relative's address that I was using in my home country). The financial organization determined (via the country Revenue Department) that I no longer resided in that address > 182 days per year. So the financial organisation (1) froze my trading accounts, and at the same time contacted me and required that I (2) confirm what the country revenue department told them (that I no longer resided at that address >182 days per year), and (3) fill in a form with the tax ID # of the country where I resided in order to unfreeze my account. When I initially correctly replied that I had no tax-ID (in Thailand), they still would not let me proceed with my trading account. They gave me 2 choices : (a) obtain a Thai Tax ID # and still keep my accounts 'frozen' (ie no new equity positions - I could only close existing positions), or (b) close my trading account. I chose (b) - I closed my trading account. At about the same time, I then found another financial institution in the same home country that would let me open an account even thou I lived in Thailand, BUT they required I provide a Thai tax ID. I tried to get a Thai tax ID but failed (Phuket RD would not give me one), although the Phuket RD did state my pink-ID could be my tax-ID if activated. So I passed that information on to the 'other financial institution' (giving them my pink-ID # with the caveat that the Thai RD advised me that they had not activated that ID # yet). The financial institution was happy with that even with the noted caveat that the Thai tax ID was not yet active. The timing was partly beneficial - as I was immediately able to trade ,and made a very quick large financial return with days of opening the new account (basically doubled my income for the year). The return would have been MASSIVELY better (equivalent ~10 years income in a six month period) had my account not been frozen prior by the 1st financial institution, but that is all water under the bridge, and that is yet another 'fish that got away' story of my life. 😥 We all have those stories.😅 In truth though I can't complain. I have a new active trading account. The financial institution is OK that I reside in Thailand. And everything is 'above board' and 'legal'. -

Living in Thailand is very cheap?
If I buy a rechargable flashlight for 22bht inc free delivery, I'm fairly sure it ain't me paying the postage. It's actually very good but the battery was too small, after fitting a 21700 35bht 3200ma lion battery it's amazing value. I bought 3, light lasts 6hrs after the mod. Long sleeve sports shirts 89bht, rechargeable Bluetooth keyboard 65bht All free delivery, can't see how I'm paying for the delivery.
