I learned how to use tools and equipment as a youngster.
I still went to college and pursued a white collar career.
Learning how to use that stuff isn't sentencing someone to a trade. It's helpful in developing kids, just like reading classical literature.
Is that too hard for folks like ---- to understand?
Maybe it's because ---- never learned how to use a pipe wrench?

Did you RTFA?

"BASH: One of the things that's happening is there's a push to start students down a trade school track as early as elementary school. Is that too early?

LINDA McMAHON: I don't think so

BASH: But elementary school?

McMAHON: I think you can have some introduction of skilled trades in elementary school"

The question was about a "push to start students down a trade school track" but she (and you apparently?) chose to deflect from answering that question and instead present the strawman of "introduce skilled trades".

I don't think anyone has a problem with introducing skilled trades at an early age, to everyone. What it seems to me they have a problem with is selecting students at a young age and putting them on a "skilled trades track". The selection criteria being based on... probably their income level and race? (though no one would admit to it, it would just "happen to turn out that way" based on their completely unbiased Trump administration approved criteria), because it doesn't seem to me like judging their future academic capabilities at that point would be all that reliable.

So not only did you choose to throw your weight behind a strawman, but you doubled down on it with ad hominem attacks when it was questioned.

Eb, I respect you and opinions, and I know you are better than this. ;)

Weren't some of the cuts in Pres Trump's bill delayed until after the mid-terms due to their unpopulatiry?

OK, found this ...

The Republicans Are Going to Kill People -- but Not Until After They Vote

... Now comes the biggest problem. When the Republican Congress enacted Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill in July 2025, it included massive cuts in the Medicaid program, totaling around $1 trillion over 10 years"but made sure to postpone them until 2027, conveniently after the midterm elections.

The cuts focused on adding onerous work and paperwork requirements, all designed to force recipients off the rolls, and will remove somewhere between 10 and 15 million people from the program, leaving them without any health coverage. That is in addition to the millions losing coverage or facing huge premium increases with the erasure of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act.

But the impact will go far beyond those directly losing their health insurance. Medicaid money does not go to Medicaid recipients. It goes to the providers. The loss of a major chunk of the money going out to them will have big reverberations.

The American health care system, unlike in most advanced countries, was jerry-built, a combination of public and private entities, and state and federal involvement. But the public and private are not separate. They are like the organs in the human body"if one declines or fails, it has huge impact on the others. And these cuts are going to reverberate in many catastrophic ways. ...
