Less than half was due to Covid. Yes of course it starts with the house then what happens? Ultimately the buck stops here.

Wrong.

I stopped reading after the first sentence about “tax cuts”.

The gov’t is not entitled to a certain % of your income. That is yours as a human and an American. Maybe Helen will save you.

I wish you had the opportunity to sit in on Dr. Webb’s (rip) class on Finance and Gov’t “entitlements”.

He. Was a brilliant man.

You mean the 2 trillion for rich people.

Did the Gov’t hand out money to rich people or decide not to extract it from them?

All Bills for Revenue originate in the House. I agree Nancy enriched herself on the backs of the working people. You want keep going Janis?

Quoting Truman? :)

How do you feel about his decision to drop the bomb(s) Mr. Centrist?

Whether you feel that way or not is besides the point. It still added to our overall deficit. Really I’m a two issue voter at this point.

1. Fix the healthcare system. I work in this area and everyone is making money hand over fist, every step of the way. Employers, consumers are getting effed and the system wants you to be sick and lazy.


2. Clean up our deficit. At some point, the bill is going to come due.


The rest doesn’t matter imo until these two things are fixed.

You do realize that O'Biden's 10 million illegals make both of your concerns 10 million time worse, right?

Thanks for pointing that out.

Meh, not really. If undocumented begin working, which a lot do, then we collect taxes.

In terms of healthcare, the problems go far beyond what immigrants bring in. Hospitals, Insurance Companies and their PBMs are the main culprits in all of this. This is just a study below but points to some clues on our health systema and immigrants. Moreover, undocumented are a very small part of any type of drain on our healthcare system. Why? Because they fear deportation.

Forget any narrative that supports any agenda on this illegal invasion. The reality created by it is undeniable.

The O'Biden open border has allowed approx 10 million to enter. A low estimate is that 15 million illegals were already here. To suggest that 25 million illegals are not severely impacting our healthcare system in both COST and ability for healthcare workers to treat them, is beyond ignorant. Medicaid or no insurance at all...for the vast majority.

There are studies estimating a National economic hit at 500 BILLION ANNUALLY for food, housing, education, healthcare, cash entitlements and additional social services. One study estimates just the crime "costs" of these illegals in the hundreds of millions.

Devastating to both the Healthcare crisis and the already absurd deficit.

Any attempt to white wash this disaster is foolish.

Rolling Stone and American Doom analyzed more than 200 of Mattus’ social media posts going back to 2016. Starting around June 2020, Mattus’ posts suggest he was sucked into the dregs of the far-right internet, where he voraciously consumed and posted about conspiracies and anti-government vitriol.

Does this guy post on here?
