Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Juvenile attempts at debate and puerile insults suit you admirably. Please, do continue.

Analogies are not juvenile. But it seems even that is over your head.

 

[The Trump Administration]

Analogies are not juvenile. But it seems even that is over your head.

Analogies per se aren't. Yours, in that instance, were.

 

[anonymoose]

How so?

You’re kidding, right?
She/he got on Medicaid with the expansion despite that she can afford to spend $2000/mo. on booze and cigarettes.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Analogies per se aren't. Yours, in that instance, were.

Were you still unable to understand what it means to extend or what food assistance is? The purpose of an analogy is to help understand. If you still don't understand, please tell us.

The burden rests with you.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

The burden rests with you.

I can't read your mind. Only you can tell us if you understand the simple explanation. If you are unable to answer in the affirmative then perhaps you need to seek help elsewhere since analogies are beyond you.

Non sequitur.

President-elect Donald Trump’s economic advisers and congressional Republicans have begun preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.

Ugh. It is starting isn't it?

My fear is that there are too many Conservatives who think privatizing SS is going to be a winner. Everything has to be monetized. Ugh.

 

[Daylight63]

You clearly don't care about democracy because in just about 2 months the person you morons claimed isnan existential threat to democracy will be assuming power and you're doing nothing about it. Stfu

What do you want us to do? Lose our shit like you guys did on J6? Sorry it ain't gonna happen. We're happy to watch as YOU GUYS figure it out.

What else can we do? You Gravy Seals learned that a coup against the US isn't an easy thing. So what do you expect us to do?

Nah, the fun now comes as YOU figure out what you did. I hope it all works out for you, I really do. But you don't really know for sure. Good luck.

How about expanding oversight of them? I say it's not the system that's bad, it's the grifters who abuse it.

The system is bad and that's how grifters exploit and abuse it. Expanding oversight doesn't help.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Non sequitur.

I ask if you understood something.
You responded the burden rests with me.
I reply that I can't read you mind.
You call my response a non sequitur.

I guess that sums up your ability to understand even simple things. Clearly you can't.

Grifters ruin everything. Like the time Trump was caught misappropriating charity funds for his own use and got himself legally barred from running any more charities. Grifters are everywhere and there aren't sufficient laws to keep them from getting into positions of authority and power.

Invest SS in bitcoins.

This isn't about Trump and your delusions.

So you say.

Keep plugging. Maybe you're learning something, but it sure doesn't seem that way to me.

Privatizing Social Security in part is a winner of an idea. It puts money in that system back into the economy, rather than into government, and the ROI will be far higher than the paltry returns investing in government will give.

 

[Hume]

What's the problem here?

Medicaid and Medicare see about $100 billion in fraud a year.

SNAP and other government assistance programs are rife with it.

SNAP benefits map shows fraud reports across US

SNAP benefits are being targeted by criminals in the majority of U.S. states.

That's just for starters. Should Trump do nothing about that?

You are funny. Trump explicitly helps his class of oligarchs and you fall for it.

Then why do oligarchs and billionaires prefer Harris by something like 2 to 1?

I'd like to see that stat. Please cite it.

LOL. Yeah that sounds about right for this administration. But not BitCoin...they'd put it all in Trump's new coin. LOLOLOLOL.
