Are Rural Voters the Democrats' next Target Audience?

[Failzero]

Its from the CBO. You low grade moron. DIE MAGAS DIE.

The Golden Age will usher in a health care boom .

 

[Seymour Flops]

Its from the CBO. You low grade moron. DIE MAGAS DIE.

The CBO makes no such specific prediction, and what predictions it does make are heavily hedged with words like "could," "might," and "may."

So, yeah.

We'll talk when we have real numbers. How fast are you predicting these five hundred closures will happen?

 

[Moonglow]

At the most we have a couple dykes here, they don’t bother anyone. And they weren’t in the running for rodeo queen anyway.

They refused to sign up for the cow patty fight.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

They refused to sign up for the cow patty fight.

We do like our women a bit athletic. She’s kinda ******* worthless if she can’t help.

Maybe another 15-20 minutes. But remember we judge distances different than city people. We start off 15-20 minutes from the gas station/liquor store and the grocery store. And that can easily turn into 30 minutes if someone is moving a combine or cattle or whatever else moves at about 5 mph. So if my doctor is suddenly 40 minutes away instead of 20 it’s not the end of the world.

U sound to be country oriented so I figured that U might appreciate the below vids.

Does the situation in the vid below look familiar to U???



Below vid;

Deer Park Washington, signed dairy cow crossing located on N. Short road between W. Oregon road & W. Davis road. U might notice that the cows & bulls don't look like the typical Jersey's, Guernsey's or Holstein milkers. Notice the cute lil guy @ 0:51 that stops just before the fence. From front to back the entire herd stops instantly in lockstep unison when the lil guy stalls @ the fence line.



Family Cervidae(deer/elk not sure about moose) are a Matriarchal controlled species meaning they operate under female control/Dominance. Every member in the herd has a "position" so they maintain that position religiously. They are positioned to quickly form a circular perimeter(s) in case of predator attack(we do have wolves in the area).

The structures in the background are of the LakeWolf Creamery. If U like cheese the custom creamery's are the way to go. Once U hit up a custom creamery U will never want to go back to the generic ole wally world cheese. Even Tillamook brand cheeses are @ best a distant 2nd place cheese compared to the custom creameries. I suggest custom creameries that feature the Jersey's, Guernsey's CLOSE 2nd place!

Below; check out the momma's lil cutie pies!

If U like the comical I have slew of creature vids that may tickle your fancy, if interested.

Till next time!

NPR had an interview with some Democrat strategist on the radio today. Sorry, no link to that since it was a radio show.

The strategists observation was that Democrats need to go after rural voters, with an emphasis on the damage that the Medicaid cuts will do to rural hospitals. Here is a related story from a few days ago before the BBB was passed:

The Senate bill would cut more than $1 trillion from the program and the latest report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates nearly 12 million people will lose health insurance if it becomes law. The plan would require able bodied adults to work 80 hours per month until age 65 to qualify for benefits, and would also cap and gradually reduce the tax states can impose on Medicaid providers.

"Medicaid cuts would place significant financial pressure on hospitals in rural states, where many hospitals are already at risk of closure. In more than half of states, reductions in Medicaid funding for rural hospitals would exceed 20%," according to the National Rural Health Association

https://www.npr.org/2025/06/30/nx-s1-5451401/republicans-big-bill-could-hit-rural-hospitals-hard

I did not know that the government taxed Medicaid providers in this way to fund rural hospitals. So, this is a redistribution of wealth from the urban areas where wealth is created to rural areas, where food and other agri-products are produced. Also where many retirees live in order to avoid the high rents and taxes in urban areas.

Because of this wealth transfer, there are hospitals in rural areas whose populations demand for medical services might not support a hospital. The theory is that if these hospitals close and the rural residents who can vote will blame the GOP.

This may well resonate with some rural voters, but unless they actually see their hospital close - which will happen to very few - I doubt it will make them change their vote.

But what say you?

Trump just fucked rural voters again!

Approximately 24 million people who buy health insurance through the ACA are at risk of sharp premium increases if enhanced tax credits are not extended. Separately, about 160 million Americans with employer-sponsored health insurance can expect an average premium increase of 9%, the largest in 15 years.

• Without these subsidies, the average monthly premium could rise by as much as 114%.
• This could be particularly severe for rural Americans, who are more likely to live in counties with the highest premium spikes.

Again, reducing the subsidies affects how much the consumer pays out of pocket.Not how much the premiums are.

The aca supplements are not sustainable in the long run, if kept at the emergency levels we saw during the COVID Pandemic.

Allowing the temporary subsidies to expire, as Democrats intended when they voted them in, will save the program.

Wasn't Tim Walz supposed to do that?

Then Trump intended your tax breaks to expire this year. Why extend them? We're broke it turns out. Except to bail out Argentina or fix up the White House or pay Don billions.


What a joke America has become.
