A Major Social Security Change Is Coming in 2022

A Major Social Security Change Is Coming in 2022: "What does this mean for current and future retired workers?
Now for the other all-important question: What does it mean for you, the worker?

I won't sugarcoat things. It's not good news. But it's also not as dire as you might think, even if the Trustees report is correct and Social Security's asset reserves are completely exhausted by 2034"

In First Trade War Shot, Mexico Cancels Sugar Export Permits To U.S. | Zero Hedge

In First Trade War Shot, Mexico Cancels Sugar Export Permits To U.S. | Zero Hedge: "Whether and how the Trump administration will respond to this pre-emptive trade dispute escalation, which could cause a spike domestic sugar prices, has yet to be seen. For now, the president appears to have his hands full with repealing Obamacare, which as we reported yesterday has been met with open rebellion by conservative groups, and will likely not have the required number of seats to pass the House while its passage in the Senate remains highly doubtful, in the process delaying the implementation of Trump's tax -and trade - policies as well."

George W. Bush opens up on Trump's war with the media, Russia and travel ban

George W. Bush opens up on Trump's war with the media, Russia and travel ban: "Bush was asked about the media's role in light of President Donald Trump's recent characterization of the media as "enemies of America." He noted he spent a lot of time during his two terms trying to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to embrace an independent press.

"It's kind of hard to tell others to have an independent free press when we're not willing to have one ourselves," he said.

Bush also addressed the controversy over Trump advisers and the role they may have played in the scandal involving Russian hackers who tried to intervene in the election, saying he would leave questions about whether a special prosecutor should investigate up to the Senate intelligence committee leaders.

"I think we all need answers," he said, noting that he was not a lawyer so, "I'm not sure the right avenue to take."

Bush, the last Republican to occupy the White House before Trump, also was asked about President Trump's controversial executive order that banned immigrants from predominantly Muslim nations.

Asked pointedly if he favored or opposed the policy, Bush said, "I am for an immigration policy that is welcoming and upholds the law.""
