We know.

"Republicans warn that Medicaid spending has ballooned in the wake of the Affordable Care Act's expansion, saying that the program's structure puts outsize pressure on the federal budget. While states administer the program, the federal government provides matching payments that heavily subsidize it.

House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) told reporters Wednesday that a "responsible and reasonable work requirement" for Medicaid benefits resembling the one that already exists for food stamps could yield about $100 billion in savings. He also said another $160 billion in reduced costs could come from checking Medicaid eligibility more than once per year."

Sorta like when FL scare-talked the 'drug addicts' on welfare in FL and lost millions to find out less than 3 percent tested positive.

This is why tax cuts for billionaires is such a bad idea... it's the poor that Trumpers will make pay for those cuts... well, the poor and everyone else, too.

- Life coach for Melania?

jajaja!

- killing of the gays? Or beating your slaves? Or killing your wife?

You made that up. No, I mean like the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes... like that.

Sarah could be on Diaper Patrol.

It pays well, and has a wonderful view.

- That is a pretty stupid god,

You prolly agree with 90 percent of what he is recorded as having said about how people should treat one another.

Yep!

And if you have some Saudi families or Peter Thiel or fElon Muskrat funding you, there's money to be made.

On the misery of others, but hey.

- christians are the most gullible mass of suckers to target.

I dunno. There's always the mass of suckers who think their opinions are facts.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

a short treatise on Worldviews by an Oxford expert

All you Pagans are on notice!

Now's the time you might want to consider your worldview.

"To make matters worse, persistent inflation combined with high interest rates hurt smaller companies the most - magnifying the impact on the small caps index Russell 2000.

Why is that?

3 ingredients: 1. Tariffs. 2. Deportation. 3. Low Taxes (on billionaires, not you, buddy!)

In combination, this is a combustible mixture that'll make it difficult for the Fed to fight an inflation spike in coming months, and running into 2025 as the Trump presidency kicks off.

Of course, Trump might not implement policies around tariffs, deportations, and lower taxes that he promised. Or, let's hope they're not as severe as he's promised on the campaign trail.

But if he does, inflation will head north in a hurry.

The rules are simple. Higher tariffs will take cheaper goods out of the market. Prices will rise.

Mass deportations of illegal immigrants sounds reasonable - after all, they're illegal immigrants - except it'll make cheaper labor unavailable. On average, the price of services will go up."

Seriously, there's no reason to prove your ignorance with every post... we get it.

"During Fiscal Year 2024, CBP significantly increased its enforcement efforts and realized a substantial decrease in southwest border encounters," said Troy A. Miller, Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner."

"Since the June 5 Presidential Proclamation on Securing the Border and accompanying Interim Final Rule, which was finalized Sept. 30 subsequent to an updated Proclamation, went into effect, there has been a continued, meaningful decrease in unlawful border crossings " including a more than 55% decrease in encounters between ports of entry along the southwest border.

Since then, DHS has also tripled the percentage of noncitizens processed for Expedited Removal, and the number of individuals released by Border Patrol pending immigration court proceedings is down 80%."

'

"As a result, from June 5 through the end of September, DHS has removed or returned more than 160,000 individuals to over 145 countries, not including CBP repatriations of people encountered at airports or the northern border.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement " Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE-ERO) has operated more than 495 international repatriation flights in that period.

For the full fiscal year 2024, preliminary data show that DHS completed over 700,000 removals and returns, more than any prior fiscal year since 2010. That includes more removals to countries other than Mexico than in any prior year."

"She testified [that] in July of 2017, at this house party, she was walking out to the pool area, and she looked to her right, and she saw Rep. Gaetz having sex with her friend, who was 17," Leppard said.

Leppard, who has called for the House Ethics Committee to release its report amid Gaetz's nomination to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general, told ABC News that the former congressman paid both of his clients for sex using Venmo.

"Just to be clear, both of your clients testified that they were paid by Rep. Gaetz to have sex?" Chang asked Leppard.

"That's correct. The House was very clear about that and went through each. They essentially put the Venmo payments on the screen and asked about them. And my clients repeatedly testified, 'What was this payment for?'

'That was for sex,'" Leppard said."

This might kill the nomination from Trump's pov.... actually paying a contractor?

No way!!

Harris lost because swing voters chose the devil they knew over the devil they didn't... she had a couple of months to campaign, not a couple of years.

Now they see Trump appointing sex perverts and 2025 authors to the Admin and are saying, "WTF did we DO?!".

And you? You lose every time you make the mistake of touching a keyboard and proving your ignorance when it might have only been hinted at.

"Trump may end the $7,500 EV tax credit. Elon Musk and Tesla would reap the rewards

"Take away the subsidies, it will only help Tesla," he posted on his social media platform X in July."

"But several analysts who follow Tesla agree that the end of the credit would be a positive for the EV leader. Tesla (TSLA) shares rebounded a bit in premarket trading Friday.

The end of the credit "will widen Tesla's competitive moat by making competing EV models even more uneconomic, as we believe TSLA is the only profitable manufacturer of EVs," wrote Garrett Nelson, analyst for CFRA Research, in a note to clients the day after the election.

"For these reasons, we now view Tesla shares as deserving of higher multiples, but acknowledge challenges in the near term."

"Tesla CEO Elon Musk, one of Trump's biggest backers and the world's richest person, said in July that killing the subsidy might slightly hurt Tesla sales but would be "devastating" to its U.S. EV competitors, which include legacy automakers such as General Motors."

Musk or Ballsniffer on the EV market?

Such a difficult choice....

I would ask how you feel about a criminal traitor being back in the WH, but everyone already knows the answer.

Dems spent what they had to on a candidate that had a couple of months to campaign rather than the usual couple of years.

And as you are counting on Trump's tax cuts to billionaires to do exactly the reverse of what they did last time, add trillions to the Deficit...

... well, not that you won't enjoy being beaten nearly to death yet again, but like Charlie Brown, Lucy Trump will pull the ball away yet again while you stand there looking stupid.

Ballsmeller is smarter on the EV market than Musk... just ax' him.

AS with so many other Trump Lies, this one is yet again a mostly made up problem designed to divide the People and make them fear something that is imminently solvable, and already mostly solved.

"During Fiscal Year 2024, CBP significantly increased its enforcement efforts and realized a substantial decrease in southwest border encounters," said Troy A. Miller, Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner."

Trump perfectly matches the dozens of descriptions of the Antichrist in the OT and the NT.

Admitting that you are wrong seems too high a hurdle for you.... so just tell us how you know more about Musk's business, and his motivations, than he does?

BellsforBrains still running away from Musk's own explanation in #35.

He can run away, but he can't hide.

Yeah, it's a good question... who will Trumpers blame when prices soar from tariffs and lowered labor availability?

Well, they obviously can't blame Trump or themselves, so that leaves the innocent to blame, in whatever form or fashion.

Good news for Republicans is that's old hat to them; they've been doing it for ages.
