The government shuts down. Another spectacular MAGA failure.

That's not really true. Money is fungible, and 11 states and DC give Medicaid funding to illegals. While it's technically stte money, some portion of that state money was sent to the states by the Federal government.

I'm glad you agree with me

It's important to understand what you're voting for and against, as even some acknowledge the existence of insurance requirements for undocumented immigrants.

It's a requirement for doctors to treat those in need before demanding proof of citizenship, .

Unfortunately, his claims are true.

Cool. Prove it.

It is no secret that the FBI and Homeland Security have listed people who fly the 50-star US flag as potential extremist threats. They've also called people who take pictures and video in public suspicious threats who should be reported to law enforcement.

I'd post links here but there's no point if you won't believe it anyway.

Trump puts a 100% tariff on China, and Wall Street loses billions in a day.

China is trying to dominate the world and subvert and undermine us to take over our spot as the world's leading superpower. They're essentially at war with us, though thankfully there's been no shooting so far. The left is fine with China doing that.

Trump pisses off China, and they buy zero amounts of soybeans, which pissed off and decapitates American farmers.

The left doesn't give an actual crap about American farmers. And if there's no market for their crops, then the market suggests that we have more farmers than we need. We need to end farm subsidies.

The growth in the national debt is the result of Republican tax cuts for the rich. Now Republicans are using the growth in the national debt in efforts to cut popular domestic spending programs.

This is just bizarre and completely not true. Deficits are always the result of excessive spending. There is no other cause.

When the government spends more than it brings in, there are only three ways it can make that up:

1. Tax the crap out of people until the economy sinks.
2. Borrow (too often from bad actors like China), which simply results in deferring the deficit as well as dryign up credit
3. Just print money. Make it up out of nothing, backed by nothing. Increase the money supply. That's inflation.

Or they can do a combination of all three. All three are bad for the economy.

Both parties have spent us into oblivion, though on slightly different things, and that's why we're $35 trillion in debt. As the late Howard Phillips (my former boss) used to put it:

When the Democrats are in charge, it's as if you're in a car going off a cliff at 100 miles per hour. At least the Republicans drive the speed limit. But you're still going off the cliff. We need to turn the car around.

Money is a commodity. If one day there were 10% more pencils in the world than the day before, each pencil would be worth less. If there were suddenly more cars or computers or pizzas, each one would be worth less. It's the same with these things called dollars. When you just blindly create more of these things called dollars, each dollar is worth less and therefore buys less.

It's not a tax problem; it's a spending problem. Always has been.

When you tax something, you get less of it. When you subsidize something, you get more of it. Taht's why lower taxes grow the economy, as Coolidge, JFK, Reagan, Bush, and Trump all experienced.

And the more money you redistribute, the less you have to redistribute. Even as far back as the Pilgrims, when the product of one person's labor was given to another person who did little or no labor, those people stopped producing as much.

The solution is to stop the government from spending so much.

No, it never is about that in practice.

No, you're wrong. Some of that money comes from DC -- just through the states. If I give you money to give to someone so my name isn't on it, it's still money that came from me.

Farmers like any other industry needs to adjust. Relying on China as a business partner has never been a good business model. IMHO

And I don't understand why people want so badly for it to. Same with hydrocloriquin....especially because those same people say covid isn't anything but a cold and those same people keep trying to tell us that the covid vaccines kill you or give you "turbo cancer"

All horseshit from the same people who just want to hate on big pharma and promote "natural" bullshit.

That's not really true. Money is fungible, and 11 states and DC give Medicaid funding to illegals. While it's technically stte money, some portion of that state money was sent to the states by the Federal government.

There is a comeback. Ask @icanhelp1 for any known use by California that he can cite to show they misused federal funds and didn't have to return the money. He can't cite one. The money doesn't come without strings.

Ya knows, to a parasite, everything looks like a fungus. This parasite thinks it's only about HIS money that counts, not even bothering to take into consideration that others contributed. He is as narcissistic as the felon. Like an old guy used to say about horses, 'Ya can lead 'em to water, but ya can't make 'em drink it.'

But back to the fungible issue. He thinks he is off the hook, but that's not true. He smirks over the matter without understanding the controls involved. He is still wrong, and there is no checkmate; he may think he is playing three-D checkers, like people credit the felon having that ability, but this one doesn't have the cards if you know what I'm hinting at.

Saying money is fungible sounds clever, but it oversimplifies how government funding actually works. Federal dollars come with strict rules, audits, and penalties if misused — states can’t just move them around at will. The ‘fungible money’ line blurs economic theory with legal reality and dodges the need for proof.

Look at California’s Medi-Cal expansion: the state chose to cover all low-income residents, including undocumented immigrants, but that part is funded with state dollars, not federal Medicaid funds. Federal money still has to follow federal eligibility rules. So, even in California’s case, there’s no evidence that Washington is paying those bills — just this complainant's misunderstanding dressed up as economic jargon, or the claim that money is all fungible.

In other words, @icanhelp1 can't help being wrong again. Typical fallback mechanism for someone who doesn't grasp the failure of their argument to call 'fungible' everything and sling that on the wall, hoping it sticks. It doesn't. I just showed that. He can't rebut that fact with a single cite of California misusing Federal dollars, no matter how he weasels around on that 3-D checkerboard he carries so proudly under his arm.

Again, MONEY IS FUNGIBLE. It's not as if they keep separate Federal accounts. Once the money is transferred, strings or not, there's really not a way to control it.
