Social Security AUTOMATICALLY stops making payments at age 115, so all DOGE really did was update the software. The software language, COBOL, was in use when I was in college, 52 years ago, so I guess the system is due for an update. The question is whether all these cuts will affect services...

The Republicans have done more than the Dems did as far as shaking up the world order, that's for sure. Of course, it wasn't done thru Congress, but by executive order, half of which are probably unconstitutional. It remains to be seen how cutting staff at critical agencies is supposed to help...

The real question is will the average person feel the savings Or will drastic cutbacks mean less services available to citizens? Not to mention more hassle to access those services and much longer wait times dealing with smaller staffs. I doubt we'll feel anything but pain from the cuts. I bet...

Whether or not there's a health program like Medicare or Medicaid in place is immaterial, since people will still need health care, so the burden will still be on the medical establishment. A great deal of Trump's base uses either Medicaid or Medicare, and w/o those safety nets, the backlash...

I think the name change is a "sop" to Trump's ego, and a foolish mistake to make with close friends and staunch allies. It's a bullying tactic, thus pretty repulsive in today's world.

Tariffs are good for NO One, weaken our standing in the world, and hurt the most vulnerable parts of our society the most: the poor and the elderly. Stupid policy for short-sighted solutions.

The cardboard in a tin heat solution is a recipe for carbon monoxide poisoning; you'd be much better off with a single fat candle in a tin. Much less smoke, same amount of heat, but it can be used INSIDE a car in safety.

If Vermont really cared about senior's incomes, they'd just drop all taxes on Social Security at once, instead of this "phased-in" baloney. They really need my meager SS income to be taxed to stay solvent, apparently! They should try to live just above the poverty line.

The 5 coins shown are super rarities and will go up in value regardless of what year we're in. But the chance of finding one of those 5 coins in great condition in circulation is zero. It would be better if you told people about 2024 D [for Denver mint] US nickels. The 33 million minted is one...
