Going to war with the Fed is the dumbest fucking shit this idiot clown could do. "Let's review the bedrock foundation that has contributed to the growth and stability of the USA economy since post WWII" - it is so fucking stupid and will have reverberations that extend even beyond the tariffs...

Regardless, I think everyone agrees pulling insurance from patients is a net negative financially. The actual numbers are debatable.

Generally speaking, uninsured delay treatment (additional cost if the delay worsens the diagnosis), seek ambulatory and emergency care at a higher rate (additional cost), and either default on medical debt (additional cost) or just don't pay entirely (additional cost). They are also generally...

H1B Visas are awarded based on a lottery per country with a cap per year per country. India is one of the most competitive countries for H1B visa based on applications and population.

It was a one time increase in benefits to accommodate the increase in cost and adjust for inflation. This wasn't an "emergency level" increase. He didn't "expand" the program. They also altered what was covered and by how much. Your post seems to imply people are 1) receiving too much and 2)...

The 4th of July isn't about MAGA or Trump or the idiots in Congress. It's about reaching for the - just out of reach - Jeffersonian ideals of the enlightenment. It's a celebration of Benjamin Franklin and the other members of the committee of five. It's about the Second Continental Congress and...

When you combine how this bill sucks resources from the lower and middle classes along with the looming dollar catastrophe as it continues its decline in value and the general global tariff situation - we are staring an economic cliff not seen in a long time.The devaluation of the dollar is a...

Most of the Medicaid changes go into effect after the mid term elections.

He is so fucking stupid.

The energy component to this bill is really baffling. It suggests no one is reading these addendums and amendments. Meanwhile China is building 27 nuclear power plants.

Again, there was never an agreement to release all of the hostages. The second phase of the ceasefire was to begin with continued negotiations. That second phase never happened. Hamas refuses to relinquish control of Gaza and Israel refuses to end the war until Hamas is removed from power.

There was never an agreement to release all of the hostages.

There are 50 hostages remaining - many of whom are dead. And clearly Israelis care far more about the hostages than you do. Regardless - and again - that isn't the only issue preventing an end to the war.
