For whatever reason, munchkin wants to put the ss back under treasury, but doesn't want to provide congress with cost info.

Must be pretty heavy grifting going on. Like million dollar golf cart rental heavy.

The GOP, the Party of respect for the law, and financial responsibility, refuses to show the taxpayers how much Trump is profiting from his Presidency.
