  1. U.S. farm bankruptcies hit an eight-year high: court data https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-farms-bankruptcy-idUSKBN1ZT2YE?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2K6trtAH2dJzxADepw3y-rC7fwzAXQiep_fQaWYnI1iWIoRdCFR-PxmBk Some of the biggest bankruptcy rate increases were seen in regions, such as apple growers in the Pacific Northwest, that did not receive much or any of the latest round of trade aid from the Trump administration. The bankruptcy data “signals that things have not turned around,” said John Newton, chief economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation. “We still have supply and demand uncertainty. If we see prolonged low prices, I wouldn’t expect this trend to slow down.”
  2. That sounds like the perfect job for a retiree on Social Security.
  3. They'd kick him out anyway. Keyboards are not acceptable weapons for a fight there.
  4. We also get that your principle is to oppose teat sucking by anyone not named Muda69. Do that. None of your money was used to finance my education there, they'll laugh at you.
  5. I’m not a liar and I have never stated on this Forum that I have received Social Security payments. Period. Yes, I do plan to accept those payments. 2 of my children will also be eligible to receive benefits once I do. I plan for them to accept those also. If I live long enough to be paid more than I contributed, yes, I plan to continue to receive those benefits. I’m not the one opposing Social Security, so I won’t be going against my principles. if you had paid attention, you would know what schools I attended. Search the OOB or ask one of your “friends” if you really want to know.
  6. Can you please edit this into a coherent sentence? I haven't received any Social Security or Medicare benefits, so I've definitely paid in more than I've received if that's what you're asking. I'll be contacting Indiana State University to ask for my money back that was used to subsidize your education there.
  7. It's truly either a matter of semantics, or more likely hypocrisy, if you don't consider government funds subsidizing your education as an entitlement. Quite surprising coming from a government funded school opponent such as yourself. Merriam Webster's definition: noun en·ti·tle·ment | \ in-ˈtī-tᵊl-mənt , en- \ Definition of entitlement 1a: the state or condition of being entitled : RIGHT b: a right to benefits specified especially by law or contract 2: belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges 3: a government program providing benefits to members of a specified group also : funds supporting or distributed by such a program
  8. So when you refer to "entitlements" you are only referring to the Federal Government and not all the ones provided by the State? Don't they both use your tax dollars? Why is it ok for the State to take your hard earned money for distribution to others, but not the Feds?
  9. Prove it. You're a liar. Do you have a 4 year Degree from a Government subsidized University?
  10. How many Terrorists have carried out a Terrorist Knife attack in the U.S.? Shouldn't he have a bomb?

  12. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/480617-ted-cruz-backtracks-after-lev-parnas-lawyer-calls-senators-tweet-fake-news Parnas’s attorney, Joseph Bondy, responded to Cruz’s tweet calling him “Fake news Ted Cruz,” clarifying that Parnas did not get "ejected" from the trial, as he was not allowed in in the first place. His lawyers did attend, and Parnas later held a press conference and "unity walk." Parnas also wasn't invited by Schumer to attend the trial, though as a New York constituent he did request seats for the gallery from Schumer's office. “Like many other New York constituents, Mr. Bondy reached out and asked for gallery tickets, and we said yes,” a spokesman for Schumer said. Cruz went on to clarify hours later, once the Senate broke for dinner, admitting that information he was given in the Senate cloakroom was “slightly inaccurate.” He did not take down the original tweet. “Instead of his being 'ejected' from the gallery, Parnas was told he wouldn’t be allowed into the gallery w/ his ankle bracelet, and so he didn’t actually try to go in,” Cruz explained.
  13. What entitlements are those? I can guarantee you I've received fewer entitlements in my lifetime than you have.
