Weak News Update

by Tryan Hartill

Yes it is weak because it has been a very slow news day and I had to reach to the bottom of the barrel for these stories…...

National

  • Many are closing their Bank of America accounts because of the Bank’s dealings with those who have no SS#’s. Business making money off of illegals? Oh the HORROR!
  • This article is a little off the beaten path for a NCO News Break. But it is a very interesting read about rural Japan and how Local Governments are subsidizing everything and then bankrupting whole towns.
  • The IRS says tax-payers get out of paying $290 Billion every year.
  • Hotels and bars in China are being fined $600 a day if they don’t provide condoms to their patrons. Now if some of you critters in Salem are reading this, don’t get any crazy ideas in your heads..

Oregon

  • Coos County lets 70 prisoners go over the weekend because of the loss of timber payments.
  • Someone in Salem has finally caught onto the Salvia epidemic. Since it is much more dangerous than Meth, a Schedule II drug, it will registered as a Schedule I drug, with big fines and jail time for offenders. What is it you say? Exactly!

Local

  • 11 Local Guardsmen return from Afghanistan. Robert Birman, Les Wright, Gary Gudge, John Jackson, Adam Melerski, Troy Mitchell, Robert Gregory, Keith Townsend, Ralph Lehman, Don Hillgaertner, George McMahan…..Thank you all for your service!
  • The big Dorchester has come to a close in Seaside. Lots of folks commenting on it. Jeff Hazen here and Loaded Orygun here and NW Republican here.
  • A good round up of the Fisher Poets last weekend in the Longview Daily News….. Now don’t spend too much time over there Guy
  • Bill to outlaw ship breaking in Oregon is moving right along and so far has zero opposition.

RE: Bank of America.

I don’t understand how a bank can legally open an account for someone without a SS# or TI#.

Banks are required to report your earnings to the feds each year. That 1099 form you get for your interest? That has to have a SSN/TIN on it.

They’re also required to report any transaction above a certain dollar figure, thanks to the “war on drugs”. I bet that report is supposed to include the person’s SSN/TIN.

IIRC, they’re also forbidden from giving loans to people without SSN/TINs.

Of course, these laws are federal … and since the feds don’t care about enforcing our immigration laws … don’t hold your breath waiting for a federal investigation into the bank’s practices.

But it’s another issue that makes one wonder why, if the feds aren’t enforcing immigration laws, they still have ICE.

I thought you were just talking about how nobody had to have a social security number?

You’ll notice I said banks have to have a SSN/TIN. Meaning you have to have either a SS# – or a Taxpayer Identification Number. A TIN is also 9 digits, and can be used in the SS# space on forms … but is from the IRS rather than the SSA.

If someone wants to claim their kid as a dependent, but doesn’t want to get a SSN – they have to get a TIN.

You don’t need both, because the IRS uses your SSN as your TIN.

Both of which are different from an EIN, or Employer Identification Number.
