The Trump admin changed the document and tried to blame Biden. They got caught and now are hiding it and refusing to answer any questions.

I see a death murder or a murder death around the corner.

You people are sick. She is suffering and I for one think we should be helping these people out!

For example, I'm sending her a list of nice bridges to live under and a map of the best restaurant garbage cans she can dumpster dive for food.

What is all the new spending since 2019? The answer is surprising, as shown in the two tables below. The main drivers of the recent increases have not been the largest three programs"Social Security, Medicare, and defense"but rather rapid growth in numerous other programs.

Table 1 shows CBO spending for 2019 and baseline estimates for 2023. The largest increases have been nondefense discretionary, Medicaid, veterans, food stamps, health tax credits, welfare, school food programs, and interest. All data in both tables are fiscal year outlays.

---- Veterans
---- Food Stasmps
---- Health Tax Credit
---- Welfare
---- School Food Programs
---- paying interest on the debts you owe.

Umm...25% of it seems to be literally just Social Security and Medicare. Some of the rest may have large increases percentagewise but no where near dollarwise.

And the interest increase on the debt itself is about 14% of the spending increase.

Bezos owns the most paper and is bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars. Apparently being a propaganda outlet for the left is a losing business model so he seems to think that all editorials need to be underscore by personal liberties and the free market. I think he's correct but I also suspect this is just lip service. As the owner of the paper he has the right to take it in a different direction as the currrent model isn't working.

Way to re-write history.

The bleeding started when he blocked the paper from endorsing a Democrat candidate.

That's rich given the last president was and remains a dementia-addled corpse.

Posted by BellRinger

How is it the supposed dementia-addled corpse managed not to destroy the country and blow up the economy?

Trump has done it in barely a month.

Biden was slow, yes. But not stupid.

No flu vaccine next year, no saving a lot of seniors.

This is their plan to fix Social Security and Medicare.

Bottom line is the American tax payers paid for those rooms while Vets sleep on the streets.

As if you care.

Republicans vote against Veteran services constantly.

And now its cut the VA and sending a $4.5 billion tax cut to billionaires rather than giving a damn about the Vets.

You're a pathetic traitor.

More MAGA Heroes being arrested

So it was Anti-ICE activists, not the city?

Headline Lie

We all question why the US is counted on to the world's policeman.

#19 | Posted by eberly

No one with a brain asks that.

Everyone knows the US polices where doing so benefits us somehow more than the cost of policing.

Let them go bankrupt.

FAFO.

Don't spend another dime helping the idiots.

#32 and flying off the handle at every rumor and innuendo of what Trump MAY do only causes the left to sound more and more like chicken little.

It turns off moderates, and no matter how bad Trump performs, you'll continue to push voters to the right.

#35 | Posted by kwrx25

Except then Trump does it and Righties look like idiots.

Not new for you though.

I'm sure all those people whining about Biden's kid getting a pardon will be here to express their anger about these pardons as well.

Any moment now...

Actually Monson it would be easier than you think ... Someone had a bank account long ago. Child or someone simply lets the checks continue to go into the bank account. They already have a debit card and or checks and can do everything online. The balance is always low so the bank doesn't have people calling out to them because they're a low value client and the con continues. Not as hard as you might think to engage in this practice.

It's cute how you IGNORE that somehow you have to hide the fact they are dead from the State, the Court, the bank, and the Feds.

Maybe if you put them in the freezer rather than reporting them dead...but that's about it.

Still no Jeff...

No one is surprised.

"Saves"

I'm not sure that's the word I'd use for most of these cuts.

Where is Jeff to whine about censorship?

Odd (not really)

Did they all dye their hair blue?

#4 | Posted by BellRinger

Did they wear diapers and cover an ear with gauze while carrying JD Vance vials of...well you get the idea.

Why would an IG investigate a private company? I thought IG's were internal government watchdogs? It seems to me that any investigation of a private sector company would be conducted by convening a grand jury.

All of that happened during Biden's presidency before any tariffs were levied. Trump said he would use tariffs to even the trade playing field. If retailers raised their prices on goods because he said that LAST YEAR, they must've had a crystal ball telling them Trump would win.

Personally, I haven't experienced a significant price increase, above what we've experienced over the last few years anyway.

Pace yourself, grasshopper. It's going to be a long 4 years, and 2028 isn't looking very good based on the DNC marketing strategy.

#71 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Walmart literally said this is in ANTICIPATION of tariffs. They also looked into surge pricing.

They were already moving logistic and supply lines to be ready.

Most large companies were.

You haven't experienced a huge price hike more than the last few years because Biden tamed the inflation brought on by supply chain disruption post COVID and Greedflation from corporate America. So that little bump in December was closer to what we had see during the worst times...except it was caused entirely by the government getting involved via the threat of tariffs.

#8. The difference being, AP is not being censored. And I disagree with this move. Do you remember being opposed to actual government censorship? Nobody else does either.

#7. Condescension is no substitute for a cogent argument.

#9 | Posted by BellRinger

Twitter not promoting stories of fake doctors anti-vax conspiracies?
Bellringer: "Censorship!"

AP being banned from being at events so they can't report first hand on them?
Bellringer: "This is fine."

So you're judging Trump on Biden's actual performance... You make no sense.

Go bust out a song and post the lyrics or something. It makes you look more intelligent.

#64 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Trump: "I'm going to put tariffs on everything!"
Retailers: "We are raising prices due to expected tariffs."
LeftHandTurds: "Biden's Fault!"

LMAO, raetard... the higher than expected inflation numbers are from last year. You're mad at Trump for not fixing what was perfectly fine to you last year.

Are there any other tricks you would like to do for us?

#56 | Posted by lfthndthrds

1. Trump said he could.
2. Inflation went up because places like Walmart jacked up prices because of new incoming tariffs. They LITERALLY said so themselves.

If I'm not mistaken I recall Biden signing an EO switching the entire government fleet to EV's. Trump should rescind that but you all can't have it both ways.

#12 | Posted by BellRinger

And you are mistaken as usual.

The EO was about buying goods that were more than merely 50% made in America.

Biden said he planned to begin switching the Feds to EVs but it wasn't part of any EO.
