"This ghoulish scheme would reduce eligibility for the disability program by 10%, resulting in 750,000 fewer people receiving benefits for all or part of the next decade. Moreover, 80,000 fewer widows and children would receive benefits due to the loss in eligibility of a spouse or parent."

You just crack me up.

Really, I admire your droll sense of humor.

It's hilarious how you always try to make the dictator into a nice and competent man.

Keep it up.
