The money I need to put the newsletter together and to send them out comes from my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension and Social Security (SS). Previously, my money came from what I earned working for GAO (1980-1997), IRS (1971-1980), Firestone Stores (1970-1972), Chrysler (1970), Post Office (1966-1969), John’s Sinclair, Thrall Car, and Flossmoor Country Club (1966), and S.S.

— Financial tips to help you plan post-WEP/GPO repeal. Needless-to-say, my critics/opponents will be beyond furious if my application for spousal benefits is approved. Prior to the WEP/GPO repeal, my Social Security (SS) was only $3,000/year. My post-WEP/GPO SS might increase from $6,000/year to $20,000/year. Since 1978, my critics/opponents have been beyond envious of my wife’s salaries. In my defense, I paid into SS 1964-1973 while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automotive assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumped more gasoline.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Married People May Be Eligible for Spousal Benefits. If your Social Security benefit is small, you may also be entitled to spousal benefits. However, you must be at least 62 years old, and your spouse must be drawing benefits before you can apply. Calculate your spousal benefits here.)

— Trump orders end to federal funding for NPR and PBS. He who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one calls my tunes because I have enough motivation, time, money, ability, experience, and good health to put together and send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. Everyone in the news media should fully disclose where their money comes from. The money I need to put the newsletters together and to send them out comes from my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension and Social Security (SS). Previously, my money came from what I earned working for GAO (1980-1997), IRS (1971-1980), Firestone Stores (1970-1972), Chrysler (1970), Post Office (1966-1969), John’s Sinclair, Thrall Car, and Flossmoor Country Club (1966), and S.S. Kresge (1964-1966). Of course, my critics/opponents want Trump to cut CSRS and SS.
