Fed layoffs…WNY impact
Joe Ferguson forever replied to joshypoo's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Plenty of people 😇 -
except that trump has already balked at security guarantees Trump, however, is vague on any such commitments and suggested the Europeans would not need “much backing” from the U.S. as he was assured that Putin wanted peace. He has suggested Russia would not dare attack if the U.S. were engaged in projects there, said Europe should do the heavy lifting on security and that the U.S. would not provide guarantees "beyond very much." from my politico link above

President Trump's 2nd Term.
Joe Ferguson forever replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
the budget passed last night cuts $880 billion from medicaid. if not from benefits, where is it coming from? https://www.yahoo.com/news/tax-cut-chances-rise-house-015757064.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Nearly half of the spending cuts — $880 billion — would come from programs under the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicaid, Obamacare and other health programs. The budget sets targets for spending reductions but does not specify the cuts. Republican leaders have supported Medicaid work requirements and cracking down on improper payments, but those moves would not generate the required savings, making swing-district Republicans nervous about cuts to benefits and payments to providers. -
I think most hillbillies and rubes are MAGAs. Are most MAGAs hillbillies and rubes? possibly not but they are certainly well represented. Many deep red areas are heavy beneficiaries of govt programs like Medicaid and welfare. And they vote against their owns interests. to be fair, so do high earning chest beaters. They know D candidates will fund safety net programs at their over represented expense thru progressive taxation that they also agree with. Is that high moral code? It's certainly more enviable than living on the dole and paying no taxes (which interestingly, 47% of the population does). Given the transactional nature of trump's administration, perhaps he could change elections to weigh votes by taxes paid. Then it wouldn't just be musk who benefitted from buying power. maybe it's just me, but the last paragraph of your post comes across as happiness at owning the libs...

So, let's get this right. greenwald is criticizing homoerotic imagery by showing homoerotic imagery...brilliant! -
I spoke this morning with a person who provided care at our regional VA before retiring last year. She said they fired 100 employees including clinicians recently. She also said they were greatly understaffed before the cuts, a fact I can attest to from "sharing" patients with them over the years. Maybe your cartoon characters should be pouring beers for the veterans who will be seeing longer waits and diminished care.

Random Political Thoughts Inc.

This really deserves it's own thread but https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gop-faces-unforgiving-math-after-keeping-tax-cut-plan-alive-151932402.html trump's tax cut plan adds at least 3 trillion to the deficit. DOGE comes no where near covering it. -
no, WSJ, NYT, CBS news and the intercept all reported serious errors on the DOGE site, greatly overestimating savings. Is that not pushback?
-
WSJ isn't really known for being a parasite or for thrashing.

ahem... https://www.yahoo.com/news/doge-deletes-five-biggest-cuts-055036667.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall In another mistake, DOGE counted one USAID contract three times, CBS News reported. In another finding, DOGE claimed it had saved $232 million by canceling an IT contract for the Social Security Administration, The Intercept reported. In reality, the cost-cutting agency only cut a fraction of it: $560,000. The Wall Street Journal found that over one-quarter of the contracts mentioned by DOGE as being cut had already been paid. The largest point of savings allegedly stemmed from cutting an $8 billion contract at Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The contract in question in fact was $8 million, the Times reported.

It’s just strange to continue to use a nasty liquor as a screen name. Perhaps you’re a glutton for punishment. Meanwhile,you and your far right compatriots here continue to harass me over a true story about neo Nazis. That also seems strange given the documentation of contemporaneous and more recent similar cases.
