Republican big bill breaks promise on ending tax on soc. security but does something better
NO! You did not understand that article correctly. Read it again... it addresses the gap between the payouts and the replenishment from current contributions. The gap is real but your assumption that the gap is covered from general government revenues is INCORRECT! The gap is covered by a slow contraction of the SS/Medicare trust funds. The SS/Medicare funds initially built up a very large reserve when the demographics of working population were much more tilted towards younger contributors. As the baby boomers started to retire, the outflow of benefits began to exceed the inflow of contributions. As a result the large reserve declined probably startomg prior to 2010. But... the reserves are still there but quickly declining. The reserves will be totally spent in about 10 years from now. EVEN THEN current law will not allow general government revenue to cover the shortfall.... this will cause the SS benefits to be reduced by about 20%. -

Good post. I should research a bit more. It appeared as taxes on my payroll statements and w-2. Never explained to any of us the details other than 7.5 % paid by me and 7.5 % paid by the company. -

Trump deporting migrants to 3rd World countries contrary to Court orders
He is the president and took an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States correct? He spoke those words in his oath at his swearing in. He is not doing that by breaking the law and ignoring direct rulings by the courts is he? Electing someone to that position does not give them ANY authority to break the law , ignore court rulings or ignore the constitution. you seem to be as ignorant about facts as your buffoon idol now arent you. Show us where is given the authority to ignore the constitution or legal rulings by the courts. it will be good reading. Im thinking your trump univ legal degree expired or you missed class that day. -

How do you feel about Thailand being clearly far-right?
Pretty much the same as "radical left". Stalin was radical left, and many Western countries are radical left, but what do they have in common? -

Health Covid-19's XEC Variant Spreads Like Wildfire, Says Thai Health Ministry
Nothing wrong with being wary of a vaccine that was rushed through the system without usual extensive testing. Personally will never take it again as side effects were harmful and went on for months. Folks can do what they want as long as they don’t push it on others.
