I still hope for a blackbox law, but all the privacy police will just scream that they will get caught going to see their mistress, I mean about their privacy.

Just to add that most retired/old people are also "poor" when it comes to income. Especially folks with only social security. It is no coincidence that those two groups(65+/-$30K) are the biggest. Almost all of the sta

This statement becomes less true if you take into effect entitlement and assistance programs in the US atleast.

You can do what describe with education credits, along with other tools. And in your example you could also use student loan repayments for taxable income reductions in the same manor. Only the interest, but that is the same a business not

I would disagree, in that a presumptively factual news article should not also include reader opinion as context. That seems counter productive to news distribution. I would suggest that we have a opinion crisis in journalism already, and

Thanks for the insight. I have heard similar comments from varying states at the national events. The policy and literature around child welfare is surely in a state of change in the US right now.

I was simply referencing the origin of the authors of the policies that were then moved to the federal level and tied to funding, which was passed by a GOP congress. The problem has nothing to do with training, and all to do with legal poli
