You don’t have to believe me, noob. If you click on a poster’s name you can review their posting history for yourself.

You’ve been here less than a year and average more than 15 posts a day.

And Lance Castro's posts are rarely worth reading.

If Republicans think changes to Medicaid are important, why don’t the changes go into effect until after the midterm election?

exactly:

Republicans delayed implementation of new “work requirements” for Medicaid in the bill until 2027 and the changes to how the program is funded to 2028, which, at least in theory, will help them avoid a voter backlash in the 2026 midterm elections.

And I don’t believe you.

So what , Princess Hubris?

We were talking about Hisarpy/Rebel5Soul/Glamorilla's latest iteration as PinkParkHorse. (Not you.) Allegedly "New To The Forums" (or so he says every time he creates a new alias) but if you believe that, then you probably also believe that 1984x2024 is ALSO a brand new poster who has never, ever, posted on this forum until a couple weeks ago.

The rest of us, we aren't that naieve.

Basically trying to flip what’s actually in the bill and saying it helps the lower and middle class more than the wealthy and that making the tax cuts permanent will save America and save money. And on Medicaid no one who is eligible or needs it will be denied, they’re just getting those illegal immigrants who shouldn’t be on it anyway and requiring able bodied folk on it to work/volunteer 20 hours a week and is that really so much to ask?

He’s a smooth one. But one should never forget he was a principal architect of the Big Lie.

A lot of states dont have the infrastructure for someone, even able bodied, to work 20 hr a week conveniently. Imagine no car and living in a place with shit public transportation.

Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper released its final prediction Monday for how President Donald Trump’s signature legislative achievement will grow the national debt and affect U.S. households.

Over the next decade, the megabill Trump signed on July 4 would increase the federal deficit by $3.4 trillion and cause 10 million people to lose health insurance, the Congressional Budget Office forecasts. While the newly enacted legislation would save more than $1 trillion by cutting federal spending on health care — with the majority coming from Medicaid — CBO predicts that the package’s costs will far outweigh its savings.

There seems to be many silly little line items tucked in by democrats that are now coming to the surface. The Bill should have been DOGE'd and a summary provided so we could help them clean the junk out first.

murkoski bleats she feels cheated

Despite claiming the bill wasn't fit, wasn't ready, wasn't good, she voted for it anyway after being offered carveouts... she hoped Congress would make the changes she felt the bill required to be fit for service. Now, after it was voted through without changes, and finding out what she thought she'd bargained for at the expense of the rest of America wasn't what Alaska was actually getting, she feels cheated:

Murkowski then voted for it anyway, hoping that House Republicans would make necessary changes. They soon after said they wouldn’t even try to improve the package, making the Alaskan’s gamble look even worse.

Murkowski did not, however, walk away empty-handed. As part of the backroom deals, her home state won a series of special breaks that were unique to Alaska.

What’s more, the senator thought she’d also negotiated an agreement to protect a 12-month window for solar and wind projects to continue to receive tax credits. As the Anchorage Daily News report added, she quickly learned otherwise:

this woman really, really needs to step away

And the CBO scoring does NOT include (factor in) the FUTURE cost of damage to the environment & damage to Americans’ health that WILL result from the provisions in The One Butt Ugly Bill that practically eliminate regulations on corporate polluters.

And the damage to Americans’ health resulting from The One Butt Ugly Bill’s elimination of regulations on corporate polluters leads us right back to the 10 MILLION Americans who will lose their health insurance because of The One Butt Ugly Bill.

Deep breath. Take your meds. I shared CBO projections and explained their assumptions.

CBO Final Score: Trump’s Megabill Will Add $3.4 Trillion to Deficits, Kick 10 Million Off Health Insurance

The Congressional Budget Office said Monday that the tax cut and policy bill signed into law by President Donald Trump earlier this month will increase the budget deficit by $3.4 trillion over 10 years relative to the budgetary baseline established in January, before the bill passed.

The deficit results from a decrease in revenues totaling $4.5 trillion over a decade, partially offset by a decrease in spending of $1.1 trillion, CBO said in its final cost estimate.

The analysis also estimated that about 10 million more people will lack health insurance by 2034 as a result of the legislation, which imposes new work requirements on Medicaid beneficiaries.

Not popular: Although Republicans say the tax cut-laden legislation was designed to help ordinary Americans — “This is a bill that was written for hardworking Americans, middle- and lower-class earners in particular,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson — polls indicate that it lacks broad support, in part because it will generate so much extra debt.

A CNN poll released last week found that 61% of respondents opposed the legislation, with just 39% supporting it. More (51%) expect the legislation to hurt the economy than help it (29%), with 20% saying it won’t make much difference. And a larger proportion (39%) expect it to make their families worse off rather than better off (16%), though about half think it will have no effect or they’re unsure.

According to the CNN poll, the top reason for opposing the legislation is the amount it adds to the federal budget deficit, with 58% of respondents choosing that option. Other reasons include its elimination of clean energy supports (51%) and the tightening of requirements for social safety net programs (49%).

Other polls have recorded similar overall results, including a Fox News poll conducted shortly before the bill passed that found that 59% of registered voters opposed it and 38% supported it. In an AP-NORC poll released last week, 64% of respondents said they think the tax and spending law will help wealthy people most of all, and 61% said it will harm low-income people.

Critics pounce: The CBO score gave critics an opportunity to rebroadcast their complaints about the new law. Rep. Brendan F. Boyle of Pennsylvania, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said the analysis confirms that the Republican legislation will add trillions to the deficit in order to give tax cuts to the rich. “It’s one of the most expensive bills ever passed,” he said in a statement. “It’s also one of the cruelest. More than 15 million Americans will lose their health care because of the law’s assault on Medicaid and Republican plans to dismantle the ACA.”

Poor Delux. Sorry you didn’t get the tax hike that was scheduled to happen at the end of the year. Oh well. I know you’re miserable but the bill is now law and you’ll just have suffer through it.

A few more tax dollars would have helped those folks in Texas.. oh wait they turned down the money. Seems they weee convinced it was a good idea, just like you were convinced.

Small minds are so easy to dupe.

And is it secret option 3 today? BOTH apple sauce AND jello?

You seem disappointed that Trump is president and the OBBB passed.

 

[dkovic77]

Those folks in Texas are. So are the ones in the plane crashes. Hurricane season will be interesting… poll numbers will go lower then because the shit show of the “best and brightest” isn’t ready for prime time.

You getting rice pudding today too? Look at you!

BabyBoobs just keeps on gaslighting by suggesting that there weren’t other options besides The One Butt Ugly Bill available to keep taxes for the bottom NINETY PERCENT PLUS of Americans from going up - while ALSO avoiding MILLIONS of Americans losing health insurance, SNAP benefits, etc.

Even the REPUBLICANS who signed The One Butt Ugly Bill under duress KNOW it is a TERRIBLE bill - and on par with DonOld’s HORRIBLE: trade / tariff policy; DHS policy; foreign policy; education policy; housing policy; transportation policy; environmental policy; health policy; civil rights &! social justice policy; overall judicial policy; etc, etc, etc.

If the MAGAt Republicans who voted for it didn't read it, you know damn well the idiots here didn't read it either.

They are just sheep following dear leader's wishes to dismantle democracy.

And it’s very likely that the MAGAts who post here are the Jethro Bodines of the MAGAt (bowel) movement.

The even-dumber MAGAts probably have even less of a clue about what negative consequences are coming for them once all of The One Butt Ugly Bill’s provisions are fully implemented.
