I didn't say 'just' $25 a month. I didn't say it was easy. I didn't say I didn't resent reading finance advice columns preaching putting savings aside when I was in debt and felt there was absolutely no place to find even a bit of small change left over at the end of the month.
But, I'm not going to apologize or feel guilty or evil by saying it's not a bad move for anyone to avail themselves of whatever financial literacy or planning programs or benefits may be available to them, for both short term and long term financial planning.

Kurt Eichenwald? good source or no?
because I saw where he is saying Russia took over a rapidly abandoned US base in Syria. But I'm not seeing it elsewhere.

Trump has no idea what’s happening. US personnel have been scrambling to evacuate positions surrounded by hostile Turkish-backed opposition forces. They are evacuating under duress and then bombing positions so nobody can seize them. t.co/buNKcHLEhiRecall earlier last week, US officials were downplaying Trump’s disastrous order as only involving <50 people on the border for a limited Turkish incursion. Ten days later we are executing emergency “break glass” evacuation procedure reserved for an extreme worst-case scenario.

Ok, can someone walk through the 25th amendment process? Better or worse transition of power for the country's sake? And, I have to wonder if Pelosi and Graham are not communicating in private about common goals.

Oh he threw out the '10 people' they had to remove from the border in his sit down with Italy this morning.

And, I have to wonder if Pelosi and Graham are not communicating in private about common goals. This is from NPR last year, but it gives a basic rundown. www.npr.org/2018/09/05/645021413/amid-another-wild-week-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-25th-amendmentThe 25th Amendment makes room for the Cabinet of a sitting President to declare them unfit for duty and install the VP in office. It'll never happen. The Cabinet is neck deep in everything too. ETA it also requires a 2/3 majority Congressional vote in both chambers. We're not there at the moment.

I mean, come Kevin thats not even a good fairy tale.

But why, when I need a million dollars to retire, would I even bother? That's more money than most will earn in their life. If I have expenses now that need to be paid, I'm not going to worry about 25 years from now.* *FWIW I do have a small retirement that I contribute to, but this is an argument I've heard and have expressed myself. It's seems hopeless. And when statistically, lower income populations, don't even live to see retirement ages, why would you bother? And then you get old and basically have to give most of that money to assisted living centers. It's a sham! Quoting myself to say, this is in the forefront of my mind after visiting my grandmother in law in the nursing home over the weekend. She pays an obscene amount of money every month to this place and they were asking for people to bring in candy donations for trick or treating events for kids. They can't budget for some Halloween candy each year!?!?!

Much presidential Per same aide: Trump to Pelosi: "President Obama drew a red line in the sand. In my opinion, you are a third-grade politician."
Hoyer stated: "This is not useful."
Speaker and Hoyer stood and left the meeting.
Trump as they left said: "Goodbye, we'll see you at the polls."

I will have to catch up in a bit. I saw Chuck Schumer discussing the meeting next to Pelosi and she is just barely holding the laughs in. I can only imagine how one prepares to go in for a meeting with an unhinged Trump.
I wish I could have seen Trump's face when he realized his Republicans voted against his actions in Syria.

I keep waiting for Barr to get caught up in all the hullabaloo and have to be done. He is definitely top five worst in the administration.
