If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write-off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.

If you've never met a journalist, and most haven't, here's what their JOB is: to question! To challenge authority, like 47 or anyone w power. It is our JOB. If you can't handle a woman journalist asking you a tough question, you're a whiny baby nor understand the assignment.

@Acyn “…Some people might not be able to afford $1900 a month for their care, from $888 a month last year.” What do you mean? Neither is doable!!! So angry!

Wow, looks like Congress (both sides of the aisle) have a pretty sweet deal on their healthcare — must be nice.

@claudiamconwayy Other countries create incentives for moms to to work…that’s more $ in the country’s kitty! Duh!!! Moms like me, 3 kids, couldn’t afford to work - would make less than cost of care. My MIL died young, my mom has mental illness, aunt = Parkinson’s. Would have loved help to work!

@BrianKempGA …Stop offering prayers. Get off your butt and enact commonsense gun reform. I can’t believe at your own private dining room table you agree weapons of war like AR-15’s belong on civilians …unless you do. Then we’re lost.
