Trump's been ranked the worst President in history for a lot of reasons. It was embarrassing when the world laughed at him. I mean they were flying a big orange baby blimp around Europe. He did a lot of damage breaking trust and alliances with our European allies while sucking up to Kim Jong Un, Putin, and other Dictators. He was so hellbent on dividing our country it was disgusting. He still is. The guy is no Patriot, no law abiding citizen, and certainly not a man worthy of respect. Most importantly, he can't be trusted. He lies, cheats, and steals, and won't ever stop.
lol this dimwit who cannot even format a post keeps repeating the "created 14 million jobs" lie that even the leftist fact checkers debunked
Medicare negotiated drug prices for the first time. Here’s what it got The White House unveiled the fruits of months of negotiations between the government and pharmaceutical companies: new, lower Medicare prices for 10 blockbuster drugs. The discounts range from 79% for diabetes drug Januvia to 38% for blood cancer drug Imbruvica. If the negotiated prices were in effect in 2023, Medicare would have saved $6 billion and beneficiaries would have saved $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs, such as copays at the pharmacy counter. That’s what officials say they expect to save in the first year the prices are in effect. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra played up the savings Wednesday evening. In a press call ahead of the announcement, Becerra said if the negotiated prices were in effect in 2023, Medicare would have saved $6 billion and beneficiaries would have saved $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs, such as copays at the pharmacy counter. “I had the privilege to work closely with our HHS team and oversee the negotiations,” which took nearly a year, Becerra said. “The negotiations were comprehensive. They were intense. It took both sides to reach a good deal.” The program selected the first 10 medicines for negotiation last year based on several conditions laid out in the Inflation Reduction Act, which ended Medicare’s 20-year ban on negotiating drug prices. The drugs included blockbuster blood thinners, like Eliquis and Xarelto, as well as drugs for arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and heart failure. The negotiated prices will go into effect in January 2026. After all these years, why negotiate now? Medicare Part D covers outpatient drugs for about 50 million seniors. The federal program was able to negotiate these prices for the first time in the program’s history as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act. Negotiations began in February and progressed through the summer, coming to a close on Aug. 1. While individual plans have previously been able to negotiate to drive prices down, this is the first time that Medicare was able to use its leverage and negotiate for the program as a whole. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a democrat from Minnesota, says she fought for years to get Congress to pass a law lifting the ban on Medicare drug price negotiation. She joined advocates on Wednesday to discuss the significance of the upcoming negotiated price announcements, calling out the various tactics pharmaceutical companies have used to hang onto their monopoly power and keep prices high over the years. “It is fine to make profits, but not to the extent that you're actually hurting Americans' health in the United States of America,” she said. “No one should be forced to choose between filling their prescriptions or filling their grocery carts.” In all, these 10 drugs alone cost Medicare $50.5 billion in 2022, or about 20% of the program’s gross total drug spending that year, according to HHS. They also cost beneficiaries $3.4 billion in out-of-pocket expenses. The politics of prescription drugs President Biden and Vice President Harris are expected to trumpet the announcement at an event on Thursday in Maryland, where they will each give remarks about lowering health care costs for Americans. It’s the first formal joint speaking appearance for Biden and Harris since he stepped aside from his bid for a second term and endorsed Harris last month. She has been campaigning furiously, and is under some pressure to lay out her policy priorities in what is an unusually short campaign season. The high cost of living is a key issue for voters. Polls have shown Biden has struggled to get credit for his efforts to lower prices and many voters continue to trust GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump more on the economy – but polls also show that voters are less critical of Harris on economic issues. Harris is expected to give more details about her economic priorities in a campaign speech in North Carolina on Friday. Looking ahead at Medicare drug price negotiation It’s expected Medicare drug price negotiations will save the government $98.5 billion over a decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which scored the Inflation Reduction Act. The pharmaceutical industry has pushed back against the negotiations, filing several lawsuits to keep the negotiated prices from going into effect and saying the move will be bad for drug innovation. However, the CBO estimates that the Inflation Reduction Act will prevent 13 new drugs from coming to market over the next 30 years out of the 1,300 of them that are expected to come to market over that time. Over the past few weeks, several drug companies involved in this round of negotiations told their investors they are able to manage the losses from lower Medicare prices. Medicare will begin negotiating prices for the next batch of medicines early next year. The process will continue annually with the government negotiating the prices of up to 20 drugs by the end of the decade. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-...g-prices-for-the-first-time-heres-what-it-got
if only you can give links/names. you can't because ur lying' ATW, stop lying/embarrasing yourself Trump's Final Numbers, lost 2.9 Million Jobs, unemployment rose from 4.7% to 6.3%; Biden/Harris Numbers so far, with 5+ months to go, gained > 14 million jobs, unemployment dropped from to 6.3% to the current 4.3% the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that nonfarm payroll employment increased by 303,000 jobs in March: Job creation from Apr to Jul 2024 avg > 100K each month, https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.a.htm thank you for making it so easy for me to point out your willful ignorance!
I am so glad Trump finally accomplished this after years of saying he would! Promises Made. Promises kept...****ing loser
I don't know about that, I heard the term first from trump when his fox and friends would tell a lie and then someone like CBS would call it out, whether it was crowd size or just a flat out lie. He needed to differentiate between fake fox and real news channels.......................so no, the irony is that people like you spout this type of narrative because it is a lie. the fox variety show is not news, its a mega phone for maga.........or any of those low budget, low IQ`s shows that the fringe right loves to watch like the mike lindell variety show, he is still peddling his pillows along with the latest, "I have PROOF of election fraud", the other 500 times he said that went so well, but sold a hell of a lot of pillows But you will still drink the trump kool aid, y'all are locked in a cult and I hope you come out of it ok
for the education of the willfully ignorant ATW, while the admin is responsible for fiscal policies (tax and spending) controlling/monitoring inflation , monetary policies, is within the province of the Federal Reserve you may want to let End Wokeness know The independent Fed has guided a soft landing, but that's just to nuanced for mental midgets like you
3 weeks (7/21 -> 8/14) Where Harris has improved the most on Biden (natesilver.net) Harris’s largest gains have come in Arizona, which supports the theory that her relative strengths are in the Sunbelt rather than the Rust Belt. And Nevada and North Carolina sort of support that theory too, though her gains are no larger there than in the Rust Belt “Blue Wall” states. But Georgia, interestingly, hasn’t moved as much. That may be because Georgia is among the most inelastic states, meaning that there aren’t all that many swing voters there. Instead, the state is divided about 50/50 between strongly Republican groups (white Evangelicals) and strongly Democratic ones (Black voters, young professionals, etc).
I already did. https://www.iwf.org/2023/09/06/fact...create-13-5-million-jobs-since-taking-office/ FACT CHECK: Did President Biden Create 13.5 Million Jobs Since Taking Office? Patrice Onwuka | September 6, 2023 2Min On Labor Day, President Biden touted his economic record in an effort to paint the economy as on an upswing. He took credit for falling inflation and job growth boasting that his record on the latter beats that of his predecessor, President Donald Trump. Yet, again he trotted out a discredited claim about the number of jobs he has created while in office. In a Philadelphia speech before a largely union-member crowd, President Biden noted: “Nearly 13 million 500 thousand jobs just since you got me sworn in — in January of 2020 [2021]. Eight hundred thousand new manufacturing jobs. But you wouldn’t know it from all the negative news you hear. But we’re getting through: This one of the greatest job creation periods in American history. For real. That’s a fact.” President Biden False. Completely make believe. President Biden’s claim is largely discredited. Cumulatively, somewhere around 13.5 million jobs have been added since January 2021. However, most of those were recovered jobs in that they returned after pandemic closures and restrictions came to an end. Across industries, people were rehired when their shuttered workplaces were reopened or after remote workers began to return to their offices. According to congressional analysis, that amounted to a whopping over 70% of the jobs in 2021. Context is critical in explaining both the sudden loss of jobs and their fast recovery. Unemployment didn’t suddenly spike for no reason. The pandemic and government mandates on public and private employers forced shutdowns that triggered the loss of tens of millions of jobs. An unprecedented 20 million jobs were lost in the first days of the pandemic alone. The job rebound in 2021 was remarkable, but that was bound to happen no matter who was in office. President Biden wants to take credit for the latter while blaming his predecessor for the former. That is disingenuous at best. Job growth has been slowing for months as jobs lost during the first year of the pandemic have recovered. Over the past few months, job numbers have been revised down. The monthly average jobs gain has slowed to a modest 150,000 jobs, down from an average gain of 238,000 in March through May. We are glad that hard-working Americans have been able to regain their footing in the economy. President Biden should celebrate that rather than making false claims to boost perceptions of his Bidenomics agenda which is not resonating with Americans. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/bidens-job-growth-chart-ignores-impact-of-pandemic/ https://budget.house.gov/press-release/fact-check-biden-misleads-on-job-creation-statistics https://www.politifact.com/factchec...dens-boast-about-job-creation-needs-some-ast/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...s-bidens-claim-he-added-15-million-jobs-true/ President Joe Biden claimed the economy has added 15 million jobs under his stewardship — here are the facts and context. “We created 15,000 new jobs,” Biden said, adding that the country has 800,000 new manufacturing jobs. Biden appears to have misspoken and said 15,000 instead of 15 million, which is a common campaign talking point. It is true that the economy has about 15.6 million more jobs than in January 2021, the month Biden was sworn into office, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In fact, the economy has added jobs every month in a row since about that time. THESE ARE THE RULES TRUMP AND BIDEN AGREED TO FOLLOW IN CNN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE Still, the key context is that when Biden entered office, the economy was still millions of jobs short of where it was prior to the pandemic and the mass shutdowns of businesses. A lot of those jobs that Biden has touted adding to the economy were merely positions that were lost because of the pandemic and then regained during reopening. Additionally, employment rates have still not fully recovered. The employment-to-population ratio stood at 60.1% in May. That is down from the 61.1% level it was at in February 2020, right before the pandemic took hold. ------------- Now stop formatting your posts like you are using a palm pilot.
the willfuly ignorant ATW doubles down on his willful ignorance the House is GOP-controlled; the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that nonfarm payroll employment increased by 303,000 jobs in March: "With the numbers from March in, we have officially crossed 15 million jobs created under President Biden — that is more jobs created in a single term than any president in history. Thanks to the investments passed by Democrats in Congress and signed into law by President Biden, the American economy has roared back from the pandemic stronger than ever."
Dude. I think if you've read any of my previous posts in the D&D, you'd see I'm the furthest thing from a trumpt***.
Question for you. trump has been saying he's going to reduce the prices of everything as soon as he takes office. How do you imagine that will happen?
And Republicans learned the hard way that this issue is off limits on a federal level. Daring the swamp, oops. I meant draining ANWAR
