Food and Drink?
It would help if the IRS were a fully funded agency. But, for the past four years or so, it has suffered because the GOP claims (FAKE NEWS) that WrongWing (non-)charities had a tough time getting approved as non-profit entities. The GOP feels that these Political Action Committees (PAC) were chosen for special scrutiny.

While many expected her to garner about 25% of the vote, she did manage to tally about 35%, primarily as a result of the ethics issues swirling about Cuomo.
A rose is a rose is a rose…
There’s been a whole lot of hoopla about a CBO (Congressional Budget Office) report. The one that announced that 2.3 million Americans might opt to stop working over the next ten years. Because PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act- aka Obamacare) has given then something these folks didn’t have before.
