  1. Finally, those greedy home healthcare workers can get what’s coming to them! $15K per year for full-time work caring for the elderly and vulnerable was outrageously overpriced. Are we great again yet?

  2. Make it 1927 again.

    An interesting way to solve the issues with Social Security is to reduce the number of Americans who live long enough to receive benefits …

  3. These deregulation proposals seem to mirror the conditions that were imposed on the hired help in the Trump Organization. Not a single one will benefit the workers. On the other hand, it will be a windfall for employers.
