[progressive hunter]

Subsidies only go to billionaires.

well they do pay the majority of taxs,,

No they don’t.

This is one reason why I would submit that the Dems should pass the CR and quit fighting it.

I agree. If I were a Democratic politician I'd let Trump/Republicans cut everything they want and jack up prices as high as they want. Let voters decide if Trump is "better for the economy" than Democrats were.

I keep thinking about 3 particular women I asked last year "why are you voting for Trump?" and all three of them said "I just feel like he will do better with the economy".

In a poll taken in late October, 66% of respondents said Trump had fallen short of expectations regarding inflation and the cost of living.​

Overall, 63% said the administration had also fallen short of expectations on handling the economy.

Separately, 65% said Trump had fallen short of looking out for the middle class

Trump’s overall approval rating in the poll has fallen 4 points to 43% since March, while 55% disapprove of the president’s job performance.

The negativity appears to be bleeding into voters’ feelings of dissatisfaction with Republican lawmakers. With just a year to go before the 2026 midterm elections, Democrats are favored to win control of Congress by an 8-point margin, 50% to 42%, among those polled. Democrats led by just one point, 48% to 47%, in the March survey.

This follows a recent CNBC All-America Economic Survey, which showed views on the U.S. economy turned more negative.

And why wouldn't they? Healthcare costs are going up, gas up, groceries.

Trump bragged that he won the election on groceries. Now, he ain't doing shit about groceries.

If you give me the majority of the money I promise to pay the majority of the taxes, dumb ass.

Yes, the wealthy have significantly more money than the rest of the population, with wealth becoming increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small percentage of the population globally and in the United States. For example, the top 1% of US households hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, and some reports indicate the top 1% of the world's population has captured a much larger share of new wealth than everyone else combined.
Wealth is highly concentrated, with the top 1% of US households owning a far greater share of the nation's total wealth compared to the bottom 50%.

So your brag isn't the brag you think it is dumbass.

They'll never believe it. Never, ever.

They can't admit to one mistake, one fraud or one lie. If they do, they know the dominoes could start falling and the whole show could unravel.

I predict that it's going to unravel bigly anyway.

People making $85k get subsidized insurance?

And the Dems are willing to shut down the gvt. for that.

 

[sealybobo]

And the Dems are willing to shut down the gvt. for that.

If they don't get subsidies then they have to pay $36,000 a year for private insurance.

Don't forget someone who makes $85K and has to buy their own insurance doesn't make as much as you think. I make $85K a year and my company buys my insurance for me. So I make an extra $36,000 a year than the average small business owner who tells you he made $85K last year. No he didn't. Well, he did but how much did his insurance cost him?

It's going to be a lot more in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Maybe even 2029, 30, 31 and 32 if Trump wins a 3rd term.

OMG I didn't realize even my insurance is going to go up!

Millions of Americans will see their insurance rates go up in 2026, with the exact number depending on the type of insurance and the expiration of government subsidies. Approximately 24 million people who buy health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace 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.

So remember that extra $2500 trump's tariffs are going to cost you. Add a 9% insurance hike to that.

Well, perhaps your cult should have thought of that before they voted to sunset the subsidies in December.

No it shows the failure of our ISM. Capitalism. Not regulated enough. Controlled by the rich who passed favorable tax breaks for themselves. Doesn't Buffet pay a smaller percentage of his pay on taxes than his secretary?

And they aren't paying their fair share. Why pay? Trump defunded the IRS so much they don't have the manpower to go after rich tax cheats. So the IRS just goes after middle class dopes like you.

They hire illegals which increases their wealth and steals from the American middle class.

They send our jobs to China and Mexico and the CEO's who do this the most make the most.

CEO pay from 1978 to Now went up 1322% and our pay in that time only went up 18%.

You will blame everyone except the people who did this. I see today it's the "liberal education system".

Yea, that's it dumbass.

makes you wonder why dems havent done anything but make it worse like they did under covid when we had the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in history,,

Pandemic boosts super-rich share of global wealth

The share of household wealth owned by billionaires has risen by a record amount during the pandemic, with millionaires also coming out of COVID-19 ahead, a study found on Tuesday.

[Independent thinker]

Trump's polling has plummeted to the worst approval rating levels ever seen for a sitting US president (37%). Polls show that 2 of every 3 Americans think the country is doing badly. Immigration is only the top priority for 10% of Americans. The 37% will call the poling fake but start watching how the legislators start reacting. They know.

Is it any surprise? Trump is doing what he does best. Ruins everything he touches. I wonder if he will survive this budget standoff? Right now things look bleak for the administration.

Doesn't really add up since Trump's disapproval number is currently at 53.6%. Although democrats are closer at 59.4% disapproval.

I think it's safe to assume that he'll be telling the press "my numbers have never been better" any moment now.

What policies have Dems implemented that made the wealth gap worse?

Will you cons help us do something about it?

What should we do about it? Let's see what a Republican like you says. I have a feeling you'll say there is no problem with it. But funny you want to use it against Democrats when you think you can pin it on them. But try to fix it, you'll fight tooth and nail. So you don't have a problem with it, won't do anything about it but conveniently blame Democrats for it. Got it.

Don't blame us. It's shit like the BBB that make things worse. We don't have the numbers to undo what Reagan, Bush and Trump have done.

Trump has doubled his wealth in 10 months. Have you? I didn't think so.

From 2019 to 2022, the median net worth of American families jumped 37% to $192,900, after adjusting for inflation. It’s the largest increase ever recorded by the federal Survey of Consumer Finances, released last fall. Surging home values and rising stock ownership fed the surge.

Don't you own a home and don't you have a 401K?

How did it happen? Did they gouge us?

The data indicates that wealth became more concentrated among the ultra-rich during the pandemic, particularly in less-developed countries. In 2020, the growth rate of billionaires' wealth share rose by 38 percentage points. This increase was even higher in less-developed countries.

Top 5 Companies That Benefited The Most During The Pandemic

• Amazon. ...
• Microsoft. ...
• Apple. ...
• Tesla. ...
• 5. Facebook.

And why did Trump in his first term double the number of companies who now pay zero federal tax dollars?

Did Biden pass tax breaks for these rich people?

“If these ten men were to lose 99.999 percent of their wealth tomorrow, they would still be richer than 99 percent of all the people on this planet,”

youre right,, they are a new party and have nothing to do with its 250 yr history,,

what was I thinking,,

 

[Missouri_Mike]

My friend is a MAGA conspiracy theorist. I just listen when he talks. I don't argue because you can't fix crazy.

Anyways, he sells private insurance. All his customers are freaking out because their premiums are about to double. He said over $85,000 and you no longer get any subsidies. Under $85,000 and you lose some subsodies but the less you make, the less subsodies you lose. So some people still get free Obamacare but some people who maybe just qualified for SOME savings are seeing those savings go away.

So add this to the list of bad things happening because we elected Trump. Whoever is paying more today, you deserve it. Chances are you voted for Trump. Republicans told you that Democrats were giving illegals more than we give you. So you voted for Republicans to stop that. Now Republicans are raising your prices. Ha ******* Ha.

Not sure you meant to but you proved rich people are getting subsidies.

 

[BackAgain]

You are doing exactly what a Trump cult member is instructed to do.

Unlike you, Trump supporters aren’t in a cult.

Of course, even if there were such a thing, how the **** would an idiot libtard like you know about “instructions”?

 

[ElmerMudd]

~~~~~~>
Meanwhile, his approval rating is much higher than Joey B's....

Biden's approval in October 2021 was 42%. Trump is below that in some polls.

I thought Trump was elected because he would do better than Trump in the eyes of the electorate. Trump is not doing better according to the electorate.

You think that it is not obvious to everyone who is a Trump lemming and a member of the cult.
Every post you and the rest of the cult members post screams, "I am a member of the Trump cult"
