when I first read about it...........exposing even more to the Republican Stock Market investment sham.
They also are trying to get Social Security converted over to "Investment Accounts" in the stock market.....

Some of the Greatest GRIFTS EVER are now being seen right before our very eyes by Trump, RepubliCONS, and the Uber Rich..........

We are a hair away from a new GILDED AGE, with a whole new set of ROBBER BARRONS, which most probably lead to t a new DEPRESSION, far worse than the last..........

Want a taste of the first depression? Read or Re-Read Steinbeck's GRAPES OF WRATH.......and all its subtelties that you can see in our country now........
