I appreciate the very touching concern the Trump administration expresses for the sovereignty of El Salvador when it comes to bringing Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. Meanwhile, POTUS has been threatening various allies and partners with territorial conquest.

The Social Security Administration was very lean.Expenses for the retirement program were less than 0.4 percent of benefits. Elon's pay at Tesla was more than the full cost of administering a program with 60 million beneficiaries.
