" a video of some right wingers talking trash."

Guttfield claimed a reduction of "100%".

Then, as an example, gave a scenario of selling 1 car instead of 2.

"One-Hundred Percent", Guttfeld said, proudly.

===

(Narrator: Of course, kids, that's Fifty Percent! Remember: Republican Math is a dangerous thing!)

"the left wasn't as opposed to what was in it"

You obviously get your "news" from sources who believe you're too stupid to handle the truth.

"Auto Pen is on line 3 holding for you."

" we have low inflation and were able to post a budget surplus in June on the basis of 300% more money collected in tariffs vs. 2024.

100% of those tariffs were on buyers in America.

Tariffs are taxes. And inflationary.

" A 20% increase over 10 years is not a "cut""

For medical expenses?!?

You wouldn't believe someone could flunk an Econ 101 midterm with a single statement ...

But there it is.

Annual medical inflation would have to be less than 1.85%. And ZERO increased need.

Just one question: In what bizzarro world?

" Pushing Back Against the Big Medicaid Lie"

Where's the lie? There is NO MATH that cuts nearly a trillion dollars without slashing Medicaid.

And don't look now, but when 4% annual growth doesn't materialize, MediCARE will be forced into sequestration cuts.

The author is a moron, as are math illiterates who can't see through the bu11schitt.

"An additional barrier won't be an additional barrier."

" to have them register twice a year for these benefits is not a burden."

This is the same lie as with voting:

"They called the cartoon "twisted, vile and shameful"."

Just not the actions causing it.

Welcome to Trumplandia.

" given how hard Democrats tried to put Trump in jail"

Don't be a putz.

Trump's ACTIONS were what was almost putting him in jail. Not a drop of Lawfare.

After all this time, you still can't point to ONE violation Trump was charged with, which you or I could do without fear of legal repercussions.

NOT ONE.

"Guess who paid for this surplus?"
~AMERICANUNITY"

"Chinese manufacturers and middlemen"
~ScottS

Total idiot.

American CONSUMERS pay the tariffs. Or middlemen IN AMERICA. 100%.

"The U.S. actually earned money"

By raising taxes on Americans.

100% of those tariffs were paid by consumers in America.

Why are you against it when talking about the tax code, but for it when you're taking about the tariff code?

"They are gonna pay a 35% tariff"

Clueless.

Tariffs are taxes, and American tariffs are paid 100% by American consumers.

" glad that taxes for everyone won't rise over 20%, which would have happened if the bill wasn't signed"

Well, that's a bald-faced lie.

What "news" outlet is feeding you this crap?

"any complaints about squalor conditions is nothing more than ------- and political theater""

Are you saying the footage of flooding was fake?

How can prisoners be safe and secure when a basic downpour floods the place, especially in a hurricane zone?!?

" there was very early warning, they warned the day before, they warned even two days before, they warned four hours before "

Moron doesn't know the difference between a "watch", and a "warning".

The "warning" first happened around 1:15am.

I wonder if any "free speech" Republicans will show up to condemn.

"Why no offset?"

Because when comparing to Biden's inflation, the offset isn't used for Biden.

"The inflation rate RIGHT NOW is 1.6% for core and 0.8% for total inflation (due to energy prices decreases under Trump)"

Translation: I'm going to use offsetting numbers I would NEVER use for Biden.

And ScottS, why are you avoiding my direct questions? I'll ask again

Of the ~$100 billion in US Tariff income, what percentage is paid by folks in America? And is an additional cost of ~$70 billion more than usual an INCREASE in costs, yes or no?

"I wonder if he is also #2."
~Snoofy

Trump will ALWAYS be #2.

"Typical ------- Fed - is this inflation in the room with them now?"

Yes it is, in the form of tariffs, both existing and threatened.

Let's see if you'd pass an Econ 101 midterm: Of the ~$100 billion in US Tariff income, what percentage is paid by folks in America?

And is an additional cost of ~$70 billion more than usual an INCREASE in costs? Yes or No?

"Trump just announced 35% tariffs on Canada"

To be accurate, these need to be represented as a 35% tariff on Americans.

"What democracy did the IRS just take from you?"

The one where political donations are NOT deductible.

Oh, look, BLS reports can get revised. Fourteen Months ago...

Recent U.S. jobs gains weren't as strong as they initially appeared. Between April 2023 and March 2024, the nation's employers created 818,000 fewer jobs than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) originally reported

So it looks like preliminary BLS numbers aren't always the final numbers.

"Read it again slowly "

You're right, I misconstructed. My apologies.
