Are 18 mil people about to lose their insurance... food... income... all for rich tax cuts. I think it might be forcing through the square hole. Brace! Brace!

[Syntosi]

Eh, its on brand for Trump and he did it during his first presidency as well. He is a big scardy cat. Does not really have to be anything special going on as such.

[Dongie]

Perhaps the administration plan on committing voter fraud and want to protect themselves from the opposition.

[Asker]

Left field. Good points.

[lightbulb27]

I recall the prior one did as well, and ones before. yes, they don't have enough dogs to control people running across the lawn, plus all the iranians that like him dead.

ever take a pacifier from a baby or spank a child. there's blowback and it won't be pleasant.

if the issue is health care, it will be very painful, someone will end up paying. maybe they could try lowering prices... trump just tried to lower drug costs, will see if it works.

[Asker]

Maybe don't do the bad choice in the first place then?

[lightbulb27]

impossible, any president doing their job will be cutting costs. granted, they could do way better to balance the budget with the trigger issue being tax breaks for the rich and famous and cuts for middle class.
but there is no way around... we have a financial problem and it's gonna get worse imho.

[Asker]

But didn't they do the math and the proposed bill actually raise the debt significantly? It's as if they want to shove it through, get the tax cuts and deal with the public freaking out later

[lightbulb27]

that's what I hear, I assume it's true. not sure what they are thinking, I think is mistake to give the rich such tax break, but it may be their play to get investment here vs other places... only way to get industry back, built up/secured, and thus get out of "consumption economy mode". there's a couple of things to balance, namely they want those tax cuts, and they want interest rates lowerd... probably at the demise of the dollar.
they really don't do a lot of explaining and there is no bipartisan anymore.
God help us all...
we'd better all "up our game and skills" so we don't end up in the street.

@goaded the only solution is create an AI business that wipes out some of the others and sell it...

[goaded]

By "trump just tried to lower drug costs", I assume you mean the Biden cuts are about to start and Trump's taking credit?

[exitseven]

Yes probably 18 million will lose insurance because of the recent Supreme Court ruling against these lower level judges making legislation that effects the whole country. now President Trump can cancel Medicaid for all illegal aliens.

It would be nice if they ll show up in Washington to complain. Then they can all be rounded up and deported.

[Asker]

What if you are wrong?
What happens when maga start finding out they are sh*t outta luck?

[goaded]

Want to know which states benefit most from Medicaid? The ones in black:

If you really wanted to save money, you'd be working to eliminate the profit motive in the health care system.

[exitseven]

Enrollment in Medicare has increased by over 30 percent while Biden was president. He also let in 20 million illegal aliens. Can you connect the dots?

[goaded]

You'll believe any nonsense you're told, won't you.

Medicaid enrollment changed about 1% from 2021-2025. www.medicaid.gov/.../medicaid-chip-enrollment-data

"Nonimmigrants and unauthorized aliens are not eligible for most federal benefits, regardless of whether they are means tested, with notable exceptions for emergency services (e. g., Medicaid for emergency medical care), but states have the option to cover nonimmigrant and unauthorized aliens who are pregnant or who are children, and can meet the definition of "lawfully residing" in the United States."
Whoever is filling your mind with these lies isn't a good person.

[exitseven]

@goaded 30%
www.governing.com/.../the-forces-driving-increased-medicaid-costs-for-states
"In the years following, national Medicaid and CHIP enrollment grew by more than 30 percent, from 71.4 million people in February 2020 to a peak of 94.4 million people in April 2023. "

[goaded]

Nice try. Biden came into office in Jan 2021, when the number was 80,797,984, and didn't leave until after September 2024, when it was 79,916,149 (the last figure available at your link, with a downward trajectory). Covid, not immigration, powered the changes.

[exitseven]

@goaded Yes the big jump was covid but that subsided. However the numbers stayed about the same. Even though the covid epidemic subsided , the illegal alien epidemic was surging.

[goaded]

That's the point, you lied about the surge to pretend Biden and immigration were somehow at fault for the 30% surge when the numbers went down over Biden's term.

[exitseven]

@goaded the numbers may have gone down a few hundred but the bottom like is that Medicaid had a lot fewer enrollees when Trump was in his first term.

[goaded]

No, the bottom line is that your claim that the numbers had gone up 30% under and because of Biden was a complete crock of shit. A lie. Propaganda.

[jshm2]

LOL, most likely it's not Iran, but disenfranchised US voters they've got to face.

[Anonymous]

A lot of people about to lose their welfare and be told to get jobs.

[goaded]

Despite most of them already having jobs.

[msc545]

Apparently if they aren't white it doesn't count.

A lot of people are gonna die.

Democrats.

[Asker]

I think it will be maga enraged when they realize their vote was taken in exchanged for being screwed to the core. Dems are too weak to rage. They don't even support guns.
