    “drill baby drill” turned to “sh*t’s getting real”

    there’s plenty of work in TX too, farmers are looking for people to pick blueberries for $11/hr…so I don’t wanna hear sh*t from unemployed MAGAts, time for them to lift themselves up by their orthopedic bootstraps

    I don't believe Miller doesn't believe in education or tech.

    If you're right a flat screen may cost 1100.00 instead of 1000.00 to bring those jobs home. Also if you're right then why are so many countries, companies currently investing trillions in the USA.

    they really think there’s a bunch of young people sitting at home in their mom’s basement playing video games not doing a damn thing and then receiving Medicaid

    republicans actually hate young men and just use them for votes…look at what they actually think of them

    And this is the justification they’re trying to use to slash billions from Medicaid and other social programs. That, and trying to convince people that there’s a bunch of illegals receiving Medicaid

    majority of people on Medicaid are actually working but still don’t earn sh*t because wages are still stuck in the 90’s

    There is a segment of the population left behind by globalization. I may be wrong, but I think you're a Trump supporter who isn't part of this population. A large portion of MAGA is. And the proliferation of education loans under Obama (who had this everyone should have a degree idea) and Biden is something the Trump administration is trying to reverse and diversify to other programs like skills training. So maybe a better definition is Miller Trump is more for different education rather than higher ed.

    As for the cost impact, your guess is as dumb as mine, so I don't guess. There are too many moving parts to know. It's best to just track the data over time.

    As for your foreign direct investment remark, it's because America has been doing great in this globalization space. That's not a new thing. Countries have trade surpluses with the US, service deficits, any invest tons into us, in the trillions, but it did slow in Q1 this year partly due to the tariff roller coaster.

    And even if they aren’t working, why shouldn’t access to healthcare be a right in this country?

    we spend so much money on bullsh*t doing things like sending billions to Israel, giving Elon subsidy after subsidy so he can blow up rockets, and increasing the ICE budget to a whopping $170 billion, but when it comes to things for the American people, now it’s time to penny pinch and wonder where all the funds will come from? Matter of fact, we now have to slash funding for programs millions of people depend on.

    Trump blows $40 million for his POS military birthday parade, but when the flood hit TX and hundreds died, it takes over 3 days to approve sending in FEMA because under the Trump regime anything over $100k for disaster response is flagged and has to be reviewed by Kristi Noem in order to prevent “waste”

    Japan, south Korea, UK, EU have all said theyre not making any direct investments and its only high interest loans. There's no investments coming from these tariffs. I traveled to Asia a few weeks ago and people there are livid about the tariffs as they see it as a war on their economy.

    Individuals in trade schools still take out student loans to pay for school. Trump has cut pell grants and rolled back repayment options. He isnt doing anything to help people obtain trades.

    gas prices have remained consistently low during Trump. 10 year peak was 2022 during the Great Biden Crisis.
