Americans should be out of their minds with anger

Matthew Nussbaum @MatthewNussbaum
This is interesting. White House stmnt about Trump's federal hiring freeze seems to suggest federal govt pensions may be targeted for reform

Goddamn millionaires and billionaires fleecing lower & middle income workers who've toiled most of lives for promised retirement benefits - all the while, our billionaire president is shamelessly raking in millions while opening the door to our hard earned contributions to government for his wealthy cohorts to pad their fat bank accounts.

Goddamnit.
