Canada targets NY, MI and MN with 25% reverse tariff on electricity.
Last I checked, these are blue zones.

Which drives up the cost nationwide.

Red States are highly dependent on Blue States.

California and New York basically pay for the entire south outside of Texas and Florida.

In a month Trump has taken projected GDP GROWTH of 2.5% and turned it into a decline of -2.8.

Spin that, IAMRUNT.

That is not true GDP growth. That is taking into consideration the government spending money on employees. If the government is spending money buying products that should be part of GDP.

#31 | Posted by fishpaw

First, that's part of true GDP growth.

Second, Gov't spending went UP in February.

Third, even IF you factored in all the eliminated positions, it might move the needle about 0.1%. That's it.

Facts don't care about your feelings.

U.S.: "Hey Ukraine, give up your nuclear weapons and we will protect you from any invasion."
Ukraine: "Ok."
Ukraine: "Just kidding!"

Why would anyone trust the US again?

Trump supporters are morons.

And it's HILARIOUS to watch them suffer.

Just talked to a girl I know the other day who voted for Trump.

She has a very autistic kid and is freaking out. She barely works because she is taking care of the kids. When she DOES work, it's low pay, low skill jobs.

I asked what she expected. He told you what he was going to do.

Medicaid gone? No more free healthcare for the kid.
IEPs? They are suing to get rid of those.
No more Dept of Ed? Goodbye Special Ed classes.
Public Assistance? Not anymore. Expect some big cuts.

"What am I going to do?"

Stay at home and start an OnlyFans.

She started crying that she started one 4 months ago and found out only about 1% of people make more than $50 a month on there.

It was hard not to laugh.

No. It's not.

It's time for them to be loud but (a) there isn't much they can do and (b) they need to let America get what it voted for while saying "We told you so."

I for one am looking forward to Trump voters missing meals, losing healthcare, and being cast out of their homes. It's a shame Dem voters will suffer too but it can't be helped at this point.

Am I cheering for the destruction of the country? No.
Am I enjoying the destruction of the country? Absolutely!

Sometimes the only way to save the village is to burn it to the ground. This is one of those rare instances.

Since it's a self inflected wound caused by absolute stupidity, I will enjoy the pain of Trump voters as I'm already positioned to benefit off the chaos.

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.

Take your damn Funny Flag...

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.

---- Medicaid
---- 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.

" Anyone who thought this idiot was fit for office isn't fit to have the right to vote.

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.

#3 | Posted by fishpaw

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.
