State Dept.: It Would Take 75 Years to Compile Clinton Emails
The State Department claims it would take 75 years to compile the 450,000 pages of emails between Hillary Clinton and her top aides, meaning it will be able to satisfy two Freedom of Information Act lawsuits from the Republican National Committee no later than 2091.

How welfare money funds college scholarships.
..."For budget experts, however, it's a curious case of how federal welfare money has been redirected since the 1996 welfare reform law created a program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Publicly available data show that Michigan spends the greatest chunk of its welfare money on out-of-wedlock pregnancy prevention, about 33 percent of the $700 million it receives from federal government each year. What does reducing unmarried pregnancy have to do with higher education?
Turns out, just under $100 million of that federal welfare money goes toward college scholarships for Michigan students. Not just low-income students. Half of the scholarship money is available to middle and upper-middle class families. And yet, Michigan spends just a little more — $167 million in state and federal funds— on traditional welfare checks for poor families..."

You won't admit that the world has changed since you were a teenager.
(It has, radically).
If you think people just need to work harder, you're unaware of the conditions on the ground.
Where would you be without UPS? (Largest Union shop in the USA).
But, by all means, vote for Trump.
'It will be beautiful, it will be amazing - everyone will be so rich, they'll be sick of money.
I promise, we'll get sick of being so awesome, I promise.
It will be amazing folks, and you know what? We deserve it, because we're Americans...'

When the government takes money from people, to give it to other people, it makes everything cost more.
It is a disservice to the hard working tax payers and an addiction for the welfare/food stamp/public housing recievers.

They're just lazy and need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, especially those 65% you mentioned. When you read ill-informed posts like those of realbrown1, you quickly realize what Trump supporters are like and just how "smart" they really are.

You understand nothing but Trump's sound bites and FOX rhetoric, which you endlessly parrot. It's very clear you are incapable of thinking for yourself.

Moonbattery » Perfect Response to Government Encroachment in the Name of Foothill Yellow-Legged Frogs
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife sent a letter to landowners Larry and Amanda Anderson, requesting permission to come on their property to conduct a survey for “foothill yellow-legged frogs & other amphibians.”
Recent research indicates that foothill yellow-legged frogs have declined significantly in recent years and are no longer found at half their historic sites. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated and will help contribute to the conservation of this important species.
Home owners reply;
Thank you for your inquiry regarding accessing our property to survey for the yellow-legged frog. We may be able to help you out with this matter.
We have divided our 2.26 acres into 75 equal survey units with a draw tag for each unit. Application fees are only $8.00 per unit after you purchase the “Frog Survey License” ($120.00 resident / $180.00 Non-Resident). You will also need to obtain a “Frog Habitat” parking permit ($10.00 per vehicle). You will also need an “Invasive Species” stamp ($15.00 for the first vehicle and $5.00 for each add’l vehicle) You will also want to register at the Check Station to have your vehicle inspected for non-native plant life prior to entering our property. There is also a Day Use fee, $5.00 per vehicle.
If you are successful in the Draw you will be notified two weeks in advance so you can make necessary plans and purchase your “Creek Habitat” stamp. ($18.00 Resident / $140.00 Non-Resident). Survey units open between 8am and 3pm but you cannot commence survey until 9am and must cease all survey activity by 1pm.
Survey Gear can only include a net with a 2″ diameter made of 100% organic cotton netting with no longer than an 18″ handle, non-weighted and no deeper than 6′ from net frame to bottom of net. Handles can only be made of BPA-free plastics or wooden handles. After 1pm you can use a net with a 3″ diameter if you purchase the “Frog Net Endorsement” ($75.00 Resident / $250 Non-Resident). Any frogs captured that are released will need to be released with an approved release device back into the environment unharmed.
As of June 1, we are offering draw tags for our “Premium Survey” units and application is again only $8.00 per application. However, all fees can be waived if you can verify Native Indian Tribal rights and status.
You will also need to provide evidence of successful completion of “Frog Surveys and You” comprehensive course on frog identification, safe handling practices, and self-defense strategies for frog attacks. This course is offered online through an accredited program for a nominal fee of $750.00.
Please let us know if we can be of assistance to you. Otherwise, we decline your access to our property but appreciate your inquiry.

These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. (Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering.)
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money. What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't. (Think about it.)
And Last but not least:
3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens. (Am I the only one missing something?)
