    What's funny about that statement. Have you never been confounded by someones stupidity? It's a philosophy that completely ignores complexity. There is no way if you take their core tenets at face value that society could function. Like how one of the few projects to govern a town on libertarian principles failed spectacularly and was overrun with bears. https://newrepublic.com/article/159662/libertarian-walks-into-bear-book-review-free-town-project

    Or is it that I missed a hyphen and you are being pedantic?

    Why in the hell are we subsidizing coal at a massive level while eliminating all renewable subsidies and adding a tax on all new projects?

    @Nook Trump has to be compromised right? Like how can you be so ****ing stupid?

    Also all I've got to say about Medicaid is it's about time we the taxpayers stop paying for illegals Medicaid.

    Imagine being such a dumb piece of garbage that you think somehow rural nursing homes are housing "illegals"

    Medicaid pays for the disabled and extremely poor and destitute. You know all those people
    With birth defects whose mothers weren’t allowed to have humane abortions? They rely on that for care.

    The majority of recipients are in deep red/rural states. No
    Illegals

    These people will be taken care of.

    Dont believe the media lies of the world is going to come to an end if the BBB is passed. Cuts need to be made and illegals are a great place to start. Red states also have illegals.

    Its honestly funny how utterly clueless and dumb these people are. I owned a medical equipment store in Indiana and took mostly medicaid and its impossible for illegals to get services. Illegals dont qualify for Medicaid benefits and never have.

    coal is low cost, reliable energy. It’s good for the economy. There are ways to make it less environmentally impactful. If you have a problem with coal, I don’t see you complaining about China and India’s use of it - where it’s far more prevalent than in the US.

    educate yourself.

    He's a voting resident in the US, why is his opinion on China and India relevant?

    Jesus christ. Coal is 4-6x more expensive than solar. NINETY PERCENT OF NEW ELECTRICITY WAS SOLAR last year cuz it wins on cost. China is only using coal bcz they are 15x our solar deployment y/y. They have invested all in on solar as long term plan to phase out coal. They are only using coal as short term energy solution. They have more solar farms than all the world combined.

    If coal was cheaper they wouldn't need to give it extra subsidies while levying a extra tax on solar.



    The unions are already ringing the alarm bell. This will destroy the entire solar industry and gifting it to China for ****ing coal LOL

    No, they can negotiate their salary in whatever currency they want, and then spend it wherever that currency is accepted at market rates. Monopolies are enforced by the government with onerous regulations and other barriers to entry. People can get paid in bitcoin to grow weed and buy everything they need from temu if that's what they want to do. That's the part all of you fail to understand about libertarianism. We don't want to make people do anything. That's what all of you love to do. We want to let people choose.

    Churches frequently offer many services to the homeless. I know my city has St. Mary's Community Services that offers food, shelter, medical, and dental services, and hygiene products. A lot of the local homeless reject the offer of shelter because they don't want to live by the rules associated with staying there.

    50-60% of China’s kWh production comes from coal. 70% in India. You might want to familiarize yourself with facts before running your mouth.

    5 years ago that number was 80-90%. China installed 277 GW of solar last year or double than what we did. What point are you trying to make dumbass. Solar is still vastly cheaper than coal and its not even close.

    Why would you issue new taxes on solar deployment at a time China is outpacing us 2:1? You realize how braindead stupid yall sound?

    Let's make the 1800s great again

    This bill will provide ROCKET FUEL for the economy -- and especially the working + middle class.

    • Tax cuts with specific focus on working class (no tax on tips, no tax on overtime) and seniors (no tax on social security) -- these are HISTORY MAKING moves.
    • The average family will take home an extra $13,300 per year under this legislation. That's huge for most of you reading this.
    • The border wall will be fully funded and completed -- securing our future.
    • Trump Savings Accounts will be given to newborn babies -- providing them with compounded growth from literally Day 1 to start them on the path to wealth creation -- this is amazing
    • Reinvigorates the military with fresh funding to modernize their equipment -- give our troops the very best
    • Lowers energy costs for all by investing in the most cost-efficient forms of energy -- eliminates the wasteful subsidies to the Green New Deal scam and non-competitive forms of electricity generation (solar, wind).
    • Promotes nation-wide school choice, which gives freedom to students and takes the power out of the partisan and woke teachers unions' hands (99% democratic campaign donations)
    And it does all of this while REDUCING the budget deficit due to the explosive growth that will be kick started.


    GOOD DAY
