I don't know if there is an answer.....Dem's really screwed it up. When the Government tells a private insurance company you have to insure folks with preexisting conditions, it is very understandable why healthy people have to pay crazy premiums. If you have a serious preexisting condition, like cancer, they should of expanded Medicare or Medicaid and let the bulk of healthy individuals be able to get health insurance. There is so many things wrong with the "right to healthcare" argument. In 1998 cigarette companies had to pay law suits for cancer victims.....still around 28 million folks still smoke. My premiums should not go up to pay for their bad decision to keep smoking. + And before anyone blast me, I think everyone should be able to get insurance, but there needs to be an out for healthy people, and I have no idea what that should be. I'm lucky enough we had a new option for health insurance - $133 every 2 weeks for my Son and I. $1200 deductible, 2400 total out of pocket and $20/40 co-pays for doc/specialist visits. My company is paying the bulk of tis insurance - it can't be cheap

I don't care that you are healthcare professional - Obamacare is a train wreck. I can't believe you made that statement with a straight face, I would get into details but I know you won't. You are the queen of one liners.

If that is coming from the tariff income alone, and something the country has not received before, it could be called a dividend..... We will see how this plays out.

Both parties have had 15 years to fix it....yet the Democrats who created it without one Republican vote has done nothing......and it was not Republicans who put an expiration date on the subsidies.....So where is your blame for the do nothing Democrats? Any Obama supporters should be highly upset that the one big thing Obama did has turned out to be a complete failure. A failure so big, Democrats could not fix it. We are about to see if Republicans can fix it.......

Yes, free money - If I don't get it, the balance in my checking account does not change and my tax obligation remains the same. If I do get it - My checking account balance changes PLUS 2K, my tax obligation remains the same. I consider that "free money" Now we can have a conversation about wasted tax dollars and that nothing is free. Personally I would rather my taxes lowered and not receive the 2k...

I don't need it either - but I'm not turning down free money. IF it is 2K like he mentioned, that is 85% of a new guitar.....or put in savings....who knows, my only bill is a car note at 2.25% - hate to pay towards that when I can put it in my savings and earn 3.75%

I just got my bloodwork back and Doctor walks in and says it has been a long time since I had to go over perfect lab results. I'm pretty stoked as I just turned 60! 5'9" - 165 pounds - but I have an old man belly I need to get rid of.

They are - they are forcing the conversation by not funding this democratic mess

This will be an exercise of pleading the 5th.....lol

I believe we need to bring back the work harder..... The phrase "everyone deserves a living wage" was built and designed on failure. The only thing I "deserve" is what I have worked hard for. There are some trade school jobs that make 6 figures.....Welders, Plumbers, Electricians, etc......Requires no college degree, just a good work ethic.

Several issues - a married couple can have one working at over twice the minimum wage and receive $546 worth of food benefits. That is a significant contribution to two peoples grocery bill. In my younger days I never considered government programs, to do so would mean I couldn't support myself, and THAT for me then and now is a feeling I never want to have. To put some things in perspective, a family of 4 receiving $994/month is 88 cents more than the mortgage of a $180,000 home at 5% interest. That does not include taxes and insurance, but that is significant......With todays rates, the home would be $160000.00

I can't believe no one has an opinion on this.

This does not claim what the headline on our first link claimed....

LOL - that headline is click bait.....

LOL - a school board That's a stretch, but if you think that's going to help you in mid-terms over a year away, good luck

What was so telling? That blue states remained blue?

We live in crazy times. No way Mamdani does what he claims he can do,,,,,,what happens when he fails?

We will see if I’m right

Snap Benefits in Texas I did a little math. A family of 2 can have a max income of $2909 a month…..which equates to $16.78 an hour if only one works. They would be eligible for $546 dollars per month of snap benefits with no kids….. Now family of 4, say 2 kids - same thing, one works, they can make $4421 a month, which is $25.51 hour….and then receive $994 in snap benefits a month….. Incentive to work or not to work?

That was the worst I have seen them play in a long time. It is hard to be a Dallas fan......

I'm not either, I have made a comfortable living, but in no way am I wealthy or rich. lol

That is the point I'm trying to drive home. How do we get the drive back to people with no drive. I have no problem helping the truly needy. My problem is when I worked at that rent to own place, most of our customers were on government housing and food stamps back then. I seen the mentality first hand. Rent A Center took advantage of their circumstance renting them a big screen TV for $40/week, and it was a sense of pride for them to have a big TV (they made hardly any money but ended up paying 3 times what the TV was worth.....(IF they didn't get it taken from them for non-payment) .....Yet there was no pride in getting a job and being self sufficient. Women with several kids and no self control to get on birth control. I don't think that is what my tax dollars should be spent on. I guess we need to figure out who is "truly needy".....

He said he would... If the Judge can order The US President to do something, couldn't that same Judge order Democrats to vote for the continuing resolution? However, I was asking your input on the fact that SO many people can't take care of themselves and what should be done. IMO, it is not OK for so many people to need help living......

yea, she is being ridiculous, as I figured shewould

Hunter, Biden, a staff member......They need to figure out how it got there...... What if that was a chemical agent to kill Biden......or a visiting Country's leader......That could cause a war....
