Snaring the Wealth 0
Ted McLaughlin explains Republican’s social security con. The gist (emphasis added); follow the link for the complete article.
Since worker wages were not rising as expected (because nothing was trickling down), the Social Security funding was also not rising. This caused the funding problem Social Security will soon see. In other words, the Republicans caused the problem with Social Security with their failed economic policy favoring the rich (at the detriment of everyone else).

Florida Fly-by-Night Man 0
At the Tampa Bay Times, Daniel Ruth notes that Florida governor DeSantis (remember Desantis–he was much in the news a few months ago) and his staff refuse to disclose where DeSantis goes using a state-owned jet funded by Floridians’ tax payments. Ruth offers several theories for the refusal to disclose this information.
It’s entirely possible the governor moonlights as a CIA contract assassin, who jets off to the Middle East on weekends to do battle with Hamas terrorists in the tunnels under Gaza.
Or maybe in the end, all the mystery is simply a matter of a little man, surrounded by silly, venal lap dogs who want to deny the public’s right to know — because they can, or think they can. Because if the public exercises their right to know stuff, then they’ll, you know, know stuff. That’s no fun.
Follow the link for the rest of Ruth’s column. It’s a gem.
