those Americans with Social Security numbers. But that includes immigrants with valid visas, not millions of undocumented workers. So how would undocumented people be assessed if they don't file tax returns? No answer to that question. The annual deficit now forecasted to top $4 trillion just this year.

Streaming services report a 33% increase in viewership. But one Netflix documentary series is leading the pack. Tiger King, Murder Mayhem and Madness, 34 million viewers in 10 days. It's the number one show four weeks running, so popular Netflix quickly capitalized by releasing an additional episode to satisfy watchers. Now, if you're not familiar with this circus, Tiger King tells a story of Joe Exotic, owner and operator of a roadside animal park in Winniewood, Oklahoma,

about 16 acres of land, 200 big cats. Joe is a gun-toting, country-singing gay polygamist who gets wrapped up in a murder for a higher plot that sends him to prison for 22 years.
