Since you have so much solid information….when do the benefits of the us bill come to pass? Lower unemployment? Higher gdp? When are those factories breaking ground? Better and cheaper healthcare? Lower housing and interest rate costs? Lower food costs? Lower debt? Higher test scores in education? Safer food and better health outcomes? As well of course as the end of the Ukraine war and peace in Gaza? When does this happen? 1

Working requirements to receive Medicaid have failed miserably in any state that's tried to enact them. All it did was shift the administrative costs to implement work requirements to the taxpayers. I'm sure it will work great at the federal level though. 2

Sounds good, but how do you see this penciling out? https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59946 Yes - Keep on the “tax the rich” and lets just become as socialist or communist country. Not the answer.
