military defense spending, Robert
- wikipedia.org Looking at this, it's obvious that, although defense spending could easily be cut, just keeping the same level of spending would be sufficient to keep things in control. And, Social Security is not a real problem. It's Medicare and Medicaid w...
Re: [EXTERNAL] Notice of Results for Medical Records Technician  (Coder-Inpatient), 12722593 (fwd), Noelle- I did! In the private sector they probably would not bother. But I really don't want to work full-time again anyway. 
Re: Fwd: Thank you for calling 23andMe, Robert- It looks legit to me. When I got my SSA.GOV account, I had to go through a similar process for my id.me account. It was a real pain, but using the automated process never worked for me; I had to have an interactive session with someone at id.me on my lapto...
origins of the "colonization", Robert- reddit.com It is not named after him. What a weird left-wing myth. 
Signal chat backups, Robert- I enabled these again and added the info to your KeePass . Note that it wouldn't let me backup to your Download folder and had to change it to your Documents folder. I think your old backups will remain in your Download folder. 
Re: go to credo, robert-  Guess we don't need to do this. 
Re: stats arm of dept of Education now has only 3 staff, robert-  Yeah. And it's unlikely that the private sector will pick this up.

Re: I watched every Nicolas Cage film..., robert-  Funny. I doubt that I could watch 100 movies. I mean, I don't even think Battlestar Galactica had that many episodes. Interesting concept, however.

Re: May 13, 2025 (fwd), robert- Do you think Tim [] supports getting rid of almost all government, except perhaps the courts, in the style of Grover Norquist? (Actually, I'm not sure why Norquist wants to keep the courts. Almost nobody likes any of the jurists at this point.)

Re: Star Wars and conservatives, robert-  Funny how Scott Jennings used exactly the same scene in Star Wars that I mentioned earlier, but in reference to the tariffs. Maybe I have a better insight into the Republican psyche than I thought. 
Re: Bannon, robert- You know, I'd be willing to give into Medicaid cuts if taxes were raised to 40% on millionaires. Of course, I would prefer 100% income tax on anybody making more then $400,000, but not even FDR was able to do that. 
Re: May 16, 2025 (fwd), robert- This makes me wonder whether Tim really thinks that NPR is left-wing, or that he doesn't consume any news whatsoever and that's just what a little birdy told him. The full spectrum dominance does make it hard to keep up. Which also makes me wonder: if peop...
