    Are unemployment numbers up.

    Rural people want less govt in their lives. They think urban cradle to grade govt help is wrong.

    Rural people might say that but ... they want farm subsidies ... they going to want a farm bailout due to Trump's tariffs.

    As a matter of fact, rural congressional districts get more federal dollars per person than do other districts.

    What rural people do seem to be concerned about is federal spending that is not spent on them ... like Welfare Queens driving Cadillacs or Obama phones or some other such nonsense.

    Are you an expert on college life in The Ivies? Are you an expert on college life for Jewish students in The Ivies?

    You do know that most college graduates never take a singe class in communism, right?

    You are just repeating meaningless R talking points. You know this, right?

    BTW the political party that is currently run by White Christian Nationalists "caring" about Jewish students in The Ivies is absurd on face value.

    People dont realize but all of rural America Healthcare is subsidized by medicaid. As someone who owned a business in rural America it was 60-70% of my revenue. In rural America youre either on medicaid/medicare/aca 99% of the time. All of rural America is subsidized by taxpayers

    Its just so funny how conservatives pretend they are something completely different. Victim complex is all they thrive off.

    The irony is rural people often depend more on the government, while paying less in taxes. Basically, they want the best of both worlds.

    And unemployment has been climbing steadily.

    Many rural people travel an hour or 2 everyday into Houston on a daily basis for work. They dont all work on the farm, they prefer to live in the city. Frankly the way some of y'all that talk about rural people sickens me, then I have to remember that a lot of y'all have never even been in rural areas and even fewer have ever lived in the rural area's and that gives me comfort.

    Whatever, just keep on believing that, I know when I went to college I came out much more liberal than when I entered college and I know my son came out of college more liberal than when he went to college, I dont expect that things have gotten less liberal. But hey man I truly hate that your walking around this high most of the time.

    Sounds like you got an education. Clearly, you've lost most of what you gained.

    Look up some facts on rural America, hospitals in rural America, and all the people in rural America who will suffer without government assistance and hospital closures. Trump isn't helping them. Then, look at the Trump family's profits this year, the billionaires reaping in the contracts at home and abroad, and tell me how that is helping inflation, costs of beef and groceries, and making the working class's lives better this year. After that, tell me why cutting funding for cheaper alternatives to electricity is helping anyone, and see how your electricity bills compare to a year ago. Then, tell me how it's winning if millions can't afford healthcare, or how it's winning when insurance prices start going up . After that, tell me how we are winning when the government and billionaire owned companies are firing workers left and right.

    The job market hasn't skyrocketed with the deportation of illegals. All that BS on them taking the jobs from others sure doesn't seem to be making people cheer to take those jobs. Low pay, hard labor, and long hours doesn't seem to be enticing young people today. I guess once the billionaires drive everyone into a state of hunger and desperation, they can hire those folks for pennies on the dollar like back in the days of the Dust Bowl. It's all so gross. It's even grosser when Don himself posts his remodeling jobs in the White House during the shutdown. He loves surrounding himself in gold.

    What the hell has Trump done in lowering inflation and grocery prices? It's worse now. What has he done to make healthcare more affordable? Nothing. Where is that promise he would cut your electric bill in half? It is non-existent. It was all pure BS. He's the biggest liar and grifter to ever lead this country.

    I live in the suburbs now and instead of typing a bunch, I'll just say my friends that I grew up with in a rural area don't look at things like deb4rockets looks at things and leave it at that.

    Who cares what your friends who grew up in one rural area of the country think. Times are different now all around rural America. There's a reason so many of them under the age of 65 are so damn poor they need government assistance and healthcare. The billionaires in Trump's administration don't care about them.

    I noticed you had no answers for all the other things I brought up about inflation, costs of beef and groceries, and electricity prices. Trump economics is a failure to all but a select few.

    I have no idea why you waste your time. You spend way to much time entertaining people who have their ears closed. You will never get anywhere with him. These people live in a bubble

    My god, that's horrible.

    "an hour or two into Houston" means somewhat about 25 miles from Deadass Downtown, right?

    Right? Mable Falls is not "rural" anymore, in an exurban community of Austin (drive 71 from Austin to 281 and just look around). The Sandy Ranch is still quite rural, and it will stay that way as long as the family and the neighbors want it that way.
