Yep

Medicaid is not being on the dole. I'm not talking about this any more with you until you can understand that basic fact. I'm not arguing you with you about what "on the dole" means. I'm not arguing with you anything that every reasonable person knows and accepts.

I'm using "on the dole" as a general term for receiving government handouts.

If we are facing economic ruin, then Medicaid will be more needed than ever. It also seems to me that if we're facing ruin, maybe cutting Medicaid would make things worse. Generally speaking, cutting spending in the face of a severe economic downturn is called "Mellon Liquidation" and it caused the Great Depression, not to mention the economic malaise in southern Europe from about 2009-2013.

The more the government gives out the more the debt increases. There is a point where the size of the debt results in "economic ruin".

How would increasing government handouts help decrease, or slow the growth of, the national debt?

Shut the fuck up, dickhead. You can’t talk about us being on the road to “economic ruin” from one side of your mouth while dismissing concerns over Trump’s budget bill out of the other side.

Blaming people on Medicaid and giving Trump and the GOP a pass for our economic issues is the pinnacle of douchebaggery.

Seriously, fuck right off.

As long as you ignore the fact that we are on the road to economic ruin and getting more people on the dole is only accelerating that process.... sure, it's great.

Really? So what are the alternatives?

We do away with Medicaid, then what? Hospitals close, people lose jobs, people die.

No, we are not headed to economic ruin because of medicaid, there are many other factors. One being tax cuts when we are not finding our government. Then there's overspending on military. Then people want to talk about efficiency, look at the cost increases of things like privatizing our jails.

To attempt to blame this all on Medicare is asinine.

So, let's just take your approach and do away with medicaid, for sake of argument, we'll also do away with SS. How does that impact society?

There not handouts either. Wake up.

I hope you never need any assistance the way you look down on people who do.

I'm not arguing the very basics of fiscal policy with you. Learn what an automatic stabilizer is, and maybe we can talk. Otherwise, go play with yourself.

Maybe if the government took in enough that it didn't have a deficit? There's s concept, but then you would whine about paying taxes. Just admit you are a selfish piece of shit that only worries about how it might impact you personally. Same with your recent lies, you didn't care about facts, you were simply mad that a person using an EBT card wasn't forced to dress poor enough and want forced to walk to the store while chanting Shame, Shame, Shame..... all so you can pay less taxes and brag about your Lexus.

Trump knows squat about the economy, foreign policy, and responsibly governing our country, but he is great when it comes to decorating his properties (including the WH ). He is the king of tasteless, gaudy, nouveau riche :poop:.

And he wonders why the New York "old money "elites never accepted him into their club😞

I'm not blaming Medicaid alone. All of the government handouts contribute to the economic ruin.

The fix is a comprehensive transformation of the government, but increasing handouts is not going to help and is not a "good" thing.

Not to mention, she is actually trying to sell us on the notion that those 34 million people that are in danger of being kicked off Medicaid will gladly accept back-breaking, low-paying manual labor jobs on farms in order to keep it.

These fucking people are so out of touch with the way normal human beings think.

And that they all live near farms.
