  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Investigators eventually discovered she owned six different businesses that generated more than $9.5 million between January 2020 and December 2024, according to court documents.

Yes, people are being taken off Medicaid or forced to work or give community service is they are able-bodied. I don't consider this "cuts" in Medicaid.

I don't think you'll find anyone who thinks that multimillionaires should be on Medicaid (at least not under our current health insurance system). I'm not sure what this singular example is meant to prove though - you're always going to be able to find instances of fraud.

Ah, Reagan's Welfare Queen anti-aid rhetoric. A golden oldie.

Go after the doctor's and institutions that steal. But the horrors of an unemployed person receiving treatment for a strep throat when they should be working is the real crisis.

Enough with the propaganda. Fraudsters are being shut down, and able bodied individuals are asked to find work, if they can't they are asked to do 20 hours of community service a week. Meanwhile Trump is going after the big drug companies trying to get them to lower prices.

But that's such a step back from universal basic income were millions are given a salary and benefits to be couch potatoes.

In our version of capitalism, money goeth in at the very bottom, else the edifice collapse.
