^^Whatever you get has to be balanced out against your ever increasing portion of the national debt...a tax cut devised on a credit card isn't really a tax cut, you're just borrowing something that has to be repaid!

I don't recall SS being mentioned at all in your article. Try to stay on point SB. You are all over the place. You just throw stuff out and home some part of it is right, or that others just take the garbage you toss out as truth.
Also under O
Homicides down 13%
9,265,000 more jobs
job openings up 97%
unemployment was at 5%, 2.8% lower than when he took office - the historical median is 5.6%
yes - labor participation rate ended about 3% lower than when he took office, however much of that includes boomers retiring
corporate profits up 166%
S&P 500 up 139%
Dow up 106%
NASDAQ up 222%
US crude oil production up 87%
petroleum imports down 62%
Federal spending up 11%

^^ wow, where do I begin?
Chicago homocides went through the roof during Busters reign
Job creation bearly kept track with population growth
The real unemployment number was more like 10+ (U6) this labor participation sucked worse than in the seventies under peanut boy.
The markets? They were at the very bottom of a correction, there was no place to go but up and they probably would have been higher if Buster would have kept his dope smoking fingers out of it.
Crude production was way up DESPITE Busters constant interfering and asinine programs like solar power, remember Solyndra??
Sorry I'be been neglectful today, busy as hell with lots of containers in town.

SB - post some actual facts and keep the snide commentary to yourself. Don't see anyone else on here that does that every post.
And U6 went from 14.2 down to 9.2 under O. Bush 2 it went from 7.3 to 13.6.
Murder rates up in Chicago but over all for the entire country down.
2013, 2014, and 2015 job growth was higher than population growth. I could not find 2016 data . This is a rare occurrence; it happens only during periods of exceptional job growth, such as the late 1960s, mid-1970s and mid-1980s, when the ranks of the employed were swelled by the baby-boom generation and by the entry of millions of women into the workforce. It’s happened only five times since 1990.

^^ was1 keep your snobby-3rd grade teacher crap to yourself.
Within the bounds of the unwritten rules here I'll post as I want.
I listen to the financials every days, several sources. What I posted I know to be true.
Also, no President in history as done more to create racial tensions than Buster.

QUOTE ^^Whatever you get has to be balanced out against your ever increasing portion of the national debt...a tax cut devised on a credit card isn't really a tax cut, you're just borrowing something that has to be repaid! Although it didn't come out too well in my post I was being facetious. Tax code reform (like health care) has been long overdue, but like the ACA, I'm afraid what's going to come out of this is another clusterfk, that will decades to correct.
Sorry didn't catch your sarcasm GIL
The Republican tax overhaul would eliminate the Medical deduction, which allows people who itemize their federal income taxes to deduct medical expenses that exceed 10 percent of their total income.
This is a real kick in the butt for all of US, if you're old enough to need Assisted Living or Nursing Home care and you can't write a portion of this expensive medical care off your taxes the vast majority of US will go broke and the Taxpayer will get the bill!
My opinion here, if you've been a responsible citizen have savings/assets paying your own way and need nursing home care or any catastrophic medical expense you should be allowed to write off this expense from dollar one..
