   GREETINGS;
   
   Is everybody happy Democrats and Republicans? Any more Trump Haters? Is it the way the new forum is set up? All the people who belong to GCSAA - have you ever seen the forum this quiet?
   
   OK - Mr. Corey Eastwood, you live in CA and are retired - surely, you must have some input ! Your Governor blames the Republicans for all the fires in your state. Is he right? Do you have any 401Ks  or IRAs that are not doing well?
   
   BIG QUESTION FOR ALL OTHER MEMBERS OF GCSAA - Any other ideas for a DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT other than the ones that are running now? Is Mr. Schiff for real?
   
   Do any of you prefer open borders to the building of the wall - Do you have any concerns about 10% of the U.S.population  are illegal aliens - (30 million) - don't tell me where do I get my facts - you look it up! Are they going to get free healthcare? Free Education - Social Security - Should be enough to get all you truly wonderful ladies and gentlemen to start a LONG LONG debate on some of these issues. Who knows, maybe we can come up with some ideas to help the Senate and the House. See you in Orlando!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Hi Capt.
   
   New format seems to have driven people away.
   
   401 is doing fine since investing heavily in DeWalt power saws and the Tijuana Ladder Company.
   
   I would  think the word Michelle would scare scare a lot of people but don't think it will happen.

   I looked it up. The Brookings Institute estimates the number of undocumented immigrants currently in the US at 11-12 million (3% of the population). This fits with all the reporting I've heard. Of course, they only count earthlings. The figure may go up if you include extraterrestrial kidnappers.
   
   Here are some fun facts: All the money in the world amounts to about 80 trillion dollars (I looked this up too). The US government defecit exceeds 22 trillion, the corporate debt of American companies is another 27 trillion, and the household debt is over 13 trillion. So we owe 3/4 of all the money in the world.
   
   The Dems should convince Oprah to run against Trump. She would wipe the floor with him.

   I can hear Oprah now:  You get free healthcare, and you get free healthcare...…, and you get free solar panels, and you get free solar panels.....and you get free college, and you get free college......and you get a free Tesla, and you get a free Tesla....  Oh, my bad.  That is AOC.  Oprah might have better phrasing though, and a more tolerable voice.  AOC, yikes.

   Hey partner.  Just checked and my fund values are up $31k over Jan 1.  This pace of annual increased value is getting close to my salary.  I never thought I would be able to retire but there appears to be hope.

   Could be more than 30 million since I'm sure at least 0.5% of Americans consider themselves Transnational
   (American but identify as non-American)

   You're either an American citizen or you're not. Whatever you consider yourself is irrelevant.
   
   "Transnational" isn't a thing.
