Ok RUDENESS....before you go slapping down someone else, GET YOUR FREAKIN’ FACTS STRAIGHT....

The post that I asked for a source for said that “Obama made that policy change”....then you slap me down for not being able to google and get the source for your so called fact....THEN the source you quote said that CONGRESS made the change in the 1990’s... So you need to make sure you have your crap together before you look down on others for not being as smart as you OBVIOUSLY are....

JERK
