One Big Beautiful Bill Act

[MajorRewrite]

Illegal immigrants are not allowed to be on Medicaid. It’s the law.

Why are you so obstinately wrong?

Who turns them away?

CA will spend 9.6 billion on CA's version of Medicaid, Medical for illegals.

Have you been to an emergency room lately, I have and had to wait 8 hours for care, guess why? Overhearing triage most did not have coverage.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) ensures that all patients regardless of citizenship or immigration status have access to emergency medical treatment. The purpose of EMTALA is to ensure all Medicare-participating hospitals do not to turn away individuals who need lifesaving care. Undocumented immigrants use of EMTALA-related services is often covered via emergency Medicaid.

BabyBoobs FAILS at reading for comprehension.



The assertion was that BabyBoobs was ATTEMPTING to blame (strongly insinuating) THE MAJORITY of the increase in federal Medicaid spending on the ACA, while OMITTING the yuuuuuuge benefits and protections afforded by the ACA.

In other words, BabyBoobs was GASLIGHTING about the ACA (no surprise there).

BabyBoobs is a GASLIGHTING POS.



We. Told. Them. So.

Pro Tip: Read my post. Read up on the ACA Medicaid expansion provisions. Look up Medicaid spending growth trend past and projected. It’s exploding, and the ACA is a significant reason by design.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

And that is in no sense a problem.

So I’ll ask one more time. What percent of GDP would you like the federal government to collect and redistribute? It currently collects about 17% and spends around 23%. You don’t have to answer if you want. Just curious.

Please let Governor Newsom know! Medi-Cal is California’s implementation of Medicaid. There are 1.6 million undocumented people enrolled in the program. Maybe governor didn’t get the memo. He is now proposing enrollment fees and coverage reductions for undocumenteds because the state finances are in the soup.

California implementation of Medicaid. The governor is having second thoughts.

“A year after granting Medi-Cal access to low-income immigrants without legal status, Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing to freeze enrollment of new recipients and charge premiums in a move expected to save the state more than $5 billion.”

The federal government’s share of Medicaid spending has grown from 1.36% of GDP to 2.28% between 2008 and 2023. Part, but not all of it is attributable to the ACA Medicaid expansion which became effective in 2014.

Which part of that is contrary to my statement?

President TACO should try lusteing for once. Things do not work the way he seems to think they do. He hasn't learned anything from his first term.

As much as necessary to fund services. No percentage should be a goal, nor an obstruction.

Congressional Republicans are lashing out at the Congressional Budget Office

The Clown Show clowns want the CBO to pretend the Tax Bill is cost free (won’t contribute to the deficit).

Republicans are using Congress’s official budget scorer as a whipping boy, as they argue a major package of President Trump’s tax priorities is costless, despite multiple projections placing the plan’s price tag at trillions of dollars over the next decade.

It’s the MAGA way! If something you’re doing is unpopular, just lie about it. pRobLeM SolVEd.

“Everybody in my profession agrees with me,” Marty Sullivan, chief economist at Tax Analysts, told The Hill back in October. “Nobody — 99 percent of economists — believes that there’s going to be so much growth that it would offset any cost on any of these tax cuts.”

What matters more is that the tax system should be intentionally designed to flatten the socioeconomic pyramid.

One portion of the bill speaks to the clean energy sector, which the current House proposal will heavily cut. This clip shows the impact of that cut on energy.

Another includes a provision for states not to regulate AI for 10years. Added in very late, and it’s reported in the uk this morning MTG missed that as she hadn’t read the whole bill before voting.

Im pretty sure Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Florida will love to learn about this....

Never before in the history of mankind has a form of energy supply grown as quickly as renewable energies are doing now. Analysts are currently forecasting average annual growth rates for the photovoltaic market of somewhere between 16.4 and 20 per cent up to 2030, which is a pretty steep exponential curve: If something grows by 20 per cent a year, this parameter doubles in 3.8 years . And each further doubling is then twice as large as the previous one.
What's more, the estimates for further renewable growth have been consistently too low so far, and this could continue. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), for example, the electricity generated worldwide with solar modules grew by 26 per cent to 270 terawatt hours in 2022.
Wind energy and battery storage are also continuing to grow faster and faster - and this also applies to the USA. According to the forecast by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), solar (58 per cent), battery storage (23 per cent) and wind power (13 per cent) accounted for a whopping 94 per cent of all capacity growth in the United States in 2024. Nuclear power accounted for 1.1 per cent of growth and gas-fired power plants 2.6 per cent. This forecast was confirmed in the half-year report: in August 2024, the EIA reported that renewables and batteries accounted for 91 per cent of real capacity growth in the first half of 2024.
Almost all of the largest plants were connected to the grid in states that Trump won: Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Florida. The only exception: most of the battery capacity was added in California, but even there Texas, Arizona and Nevada are in second to fourth place. There is plenty of space, favourable conditions and cheap land.

That's a quick and dirty translation from DER SPIEGEL.

His loyalists don't see beyond the transactional immediacy or the moment.

Oddly enough, those same people preach about how the left is fucking over the future with taxes and such.... Meanwhile they're fine with dear leader shipping our leadership in the world for decades to other countries

Well, as already mentioned elsewhere, these people have always accused their opponents, or those they believe to be their opponents, of doing exactly what they do themselves.

Projection is certainly not isolated to one party. There's a lot of that here.

The official analysis of the fiscal impact of the tax and spending bill is out.

Trump tax bill will add $2.4 trillion to the deficit, CBO says

President Donald Trump’s big bill making its way through Congress will cut taxes by $3.75 trillion but also increase deficits by $2.4 trillion over the next decade, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Ahead of the CBO’s release, the White House and Republican leaders criticized the budget office in a preemptive campaign designed to sow doubt in its findings.

Of course they did. The Trump Playbook says “if Donnie doesn’t like something, it is fake.”

The bill includes a $4 trillion increase to the debt limit, which proves the Clown Show Congress actually knows their bill will increase the deficit.

 

[ll74]

A reminder of what this bill is really about

 

[MajorRewrite]

The massive gap between Trump’s fantasies and realistic expectations about the Tax & Spend Bill.

The $11 trillion gap between White House and economists on Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill

"You can't square it because it's ridiculous," Erica York of the Tax Foundation said.

"The bill unambiguously will increase deficits, it will not contribute that much to economic growth," she added, noting that the bill is largely focused on extending current tax rates that would not be expected to push the economy significantly upward from current levels.

 

[MajorRewrite]

Conservative Republicans are calling out the Tax & Spend Bill shenanigans of MAGAs.

Republicans lay groundwork for ‘total tax cliff’ at end of Trump’s term

“There’s a total tax cliff in there. There’s about $1.5 trillion worth of taxes that expire in four years, five years, which means what? In five years, they’ll just keep them going. This is why we end up with the same problem,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said last week.

“It is 100 percent a gimmick to have tax cuts that you’re putting in place for four or five years,” he added.

It’s an underhanded way to artificially reduce the accounting cost of tax cuts so the MAGAs don’t have to offset those costs by cutting spending or raising other taxes.

Moral of the story: All that MAGAs have is pretense.
