Social Security fund only has about $2.5 Billion in “special” treasury bills (and dropping every month....SS is in deficit spending)

$2.5 TRILLION.

[Drago]

Sorry, you are correct. $2.5 Trillion. Sometimes the numbers are so big I get the decimal point wrong!

This proves what is good for the US worker is good for America as a whole.

Q: Is Larry Fink a dual citizen?

Grok:

“No, Larry Fink is not a dual citizen. He is a U.S. citizen, born in Los Angeles, California, on November 2, 1952, and raised in a Jewish family in Van Nuys. Reliable biographical sources, including Wikipedia and Wikidata, consistently describe his nationality as American with no mention of additional citizenships.

Claims suggesting he holds Israeli citizenship (and thus dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship) appear in speculative online articles, blogs, and social media posts, often framing it hypothetically or as rumor tied to his Jewish heritage and Israel’s Law of Return, which allows Jews to apply for citizenship. These sources use phrases like “potential ties,” “could influence,” or “his pursuit,” but provide no evidence, such as official records, statements from Fink, or confirmations from Israeli authorities.”

Proud Civilian Volunteer in the Israeli Defense Forces and the U.S. Air Force checking in!

Like conservative Republican Congressman Brian Mast of Florida, a veteran and double amputee due to his service (EOD), I have legally volunteered for both militaries, in a civilian capacity in my case for the US. Mast was, of course, a fully enlisted Staff Sergeant who received a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his service in Afghanistan, and a civilian volunteer like me in the Israeli Defense Forces’ Sar-El unit.

In the U.S. Air Force, I was a Senior Member of Civil Air Patrol, Fargo “Happy Hooligans” squadron, approximately 2002 - 2007.

Similarly, after hamas’ October 7th, 2023 war-crimes-only attack on Israel, I volunteered for the IDF through their Sar-El organization, found here:

Volunteering in Sar-El is great. I wrote up Situation Reports for my deployments, which can be found here:

I appreciate Nitzy continuously pointing out my volunteer service to our great ally Israel in defense of Western Civilization. I consider it an excellent recruiting opportunity, as at least three other FReepers have similarly volunteered, having seen my reports.

Thanks again, Nitzy!
