You can check the numbers yourself.
Those who lose Medicaid or ACA subsidies and can't afford insurance.
This is the CBO. They are the government's impartial scorekeeper on the costs of bills.
Deflection time.
I think the only thing some people really know about the numbers is what CNN et al tells them to believe. Just like the first time around when everything was going to collapse etc.
And who is that going to be exactly?
There's umpteen links in this thread. Which one are you referring to? Where the CBO says "The evil oligarchy has to try to pay for its tax cuts for the rich. Even at that it failed. The Big Billionaire Buffet puts us trillions more in the hole".
Here's some additional background for you on the ACA subsidy part. If you want a list of their names and addresses, you'll have to do that research yourself.
Are we in the era of one deficit number for Rs and different one for Ds?
It was rhetorical question because there aren't any specific people involved, just predictions based on estimations and the usual fearmongering that went on daily from 2016 to 2020. Which they make billions off of.
No, it's that I don't like the democrat liberalism side of things. It's full of hysteria and bizarre ideology in the opinion of many, who's numbers are growing.
Sure, because voters were sick of prosperity and wanted to bring back hardship.
They were promised double secret prosperity, but what arrived was (per Musk) hardship.
Yes! This. Default Dollar advantage and all that. (But economics quickly makes my eyes glaze over - I still can't quite visualise how it works - but apparently it gives all US consumers a greater advantage when buying overseas goods even than the rest of us OECD nations. That was - until Trump decided buying super cheap stuff from overseas with amazing Default Dollar advantages was a BAD thing - and put tariffs on it all.)
You may as well have finished is "It's just not fair - many people are saying it - we've never seen anything like this."
That would be putting your words in my mouth. My words would be it's just too weird, like we said it was going to get, and many more are seeing it too.
Yeah - I guess it does get a bit weird with a government led by a President with NPD offers multiple-million dollar tax cuts to the uber-rich and closes hospitals for the poor.
