    You trust the CBO? They've been wrong on almost everything.

    As far as the rest of your post goes, I'm willing to risk it.

    Not true in a place like Vegas. Certainly not tips that are charged on a credit card and consumers are going more and more tp plastic over cash.

    1. Needed to happen.
    2. Getting illegals off of medicaid and able body workers having to work 20 hrs a week to stay on medicaid needed to happen
    3. Certainly needed to happen

    What suffering have you had? I've suffered and know many people who've suffered from Powell's refusal to lower interest rates when the stock market is doing well/ unemployment rate down etc....

    Sad to see you look at rural people like this. I find rural people to be salt of the earth. Tell you what rural people can do that most urban people cant do.

    Hunt and grow their food and trying to take these citizens guns would be a terrible idea. Rural people believe in self reliance. Most rural areas are within an hour of healthcare and choose to live life as close to off the grid as possible.

    This is probably something you'll never be able to understand, they just want to be left alone with nobody around them.

    u just quoted me a bunch of word vomit

    Wtf does guns have to do with anything that I said? Rural people can hunt and grow food. Ok? And? That’s irrelevant

    I am talking about rural healthcare, stick to that

    Do they live within an hour or two from a place they can get healthcare? Example: Do they live an hour outside of Houston? Also if you really cared they could move in with you while they're getting treatments in the city.

    No word vomit here and if you truly care then they can move in with you while they're receiving treatment. Or sell their place and move into the city where they will receive better healthcare, if healthcare is that important to them.

    lets not kid ourselves, ICE is basically a gestapo for trump.

    All about smaller govt, denouncing the FED...and then paving the way for the most authoritarian govt we have ever seen. We don't really have 2 parties as Elon said...but modern GOP is basically the spawn of satan. That I was very wrong about.

    If they flip congress and the executive branch can they null and repeal all this?

    this is the exact type of response I expect from someone who actually doesn’t give a damn about them while pretending that they do

    “salt of the earth” my ass

    “If you really cared.”

    They are working class adults living with chronic illnesses. They have no desire to live with me or in my HCOL state. I’ve asked.

    They live about 80 miles from the nearest major city (they are not Texans).

    They will not pick up their lives and live in an expensive city. Nor should they.

    “If you really cared.”

    They have options, they choose to live an hour and a half from the major healthcare they need. I understand this, I grewup in the country ansd have family that are having cancer treatments as we speak and they would still rather live in the country and make the hr/ hr 1/2 trip into Houston.

    Do you think they're off by 3 trillion dollars and the tens of millions of people they think will lose heath coverage? You're twisting yourself into the most knotted pretzel of all time to justify this.

    Wrong, I've got family that currently live in the country and choose to make the 1 1/2 trip into Houston for treatment. They love living in the country and this is just the trade off for the country life. Something you probably could never understand.

    mindless drone: The only hospital in my rural county shut down, and my healthcare got taken away.

    MAGAt official: Get away from me.

    mindless drone: Seriously, I don’t know how I’ll be able to afford my treatments.

    MAGAt official: I said go away.

    mindless drone: This isn’t right, how could u do this to me?

    MAGAt official: Oh sh*t! Look!! Trans!!!

    this President Lyndon B. Johnson quote rings more and more true every single day

    “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

    literally got these people simping for billionaires...got these people losing their job and ability to feed their family because of DOGE and still giving Trump a B+...people got their wife being detained and deported and saying they don't regret their vote...people having their small business getting decimated by tariffs and still full MAGA...got farmers going bankrupt yet again under Trump and still full MAGA...got people voting to lose access to healthcare and other benefits

    There's only one reason that can be.
