It does come across that way, but generally they are talking about those not working or doing just enough not to lose benefits. But from an economic standpoint, we encourage that behavior. I think we're on the same page here. I do everything I can to help my poor patients that are working their asses off to make ends meet. I prioritize them for samples, I try to minimize their visits but still take care of them and use my volume to negotiate better rates for them with specialists and hospitals. I'm not doing that for slack asses though.
Yeah. I'm talking about the full time working poor. If someone is working 45 hours a week and due to their capabilities can only make 10.50 an hour then we shouldn't shite on those people. A significant portion of the right does shite on those people unfortunately.

I've been on this train for years. Some people just don't have the abilities to be anything more than entry level. Where you cut off that support would be of great contention, but we need a system that ensures working Americans do significantly better than those that do not work.
Another problem is poor decisions with the income they do get, but that's a problem at all levels. Basic financial literacy should be a mandatory requirement for a high school degree.
And don't label the assistance "free shite". It's EARNED. That's how you message it.

I wish I knew more about that.
The X-22 report puts out 2 episodes a day. The one that ends in A is financial/global economic news and since centered on Trump's plans to end the Fed.
The B episodes are about political, geopolitical, end the deep state news analysis. I highly recommend both.
You can listen on Rumble.
Joe Lange is a great follow on Twitter: Here's his lengthy but epic piece on Trump's plans to end the Fed, written back in 2022. I go back and reread it every so often because it's fascinating to see how closely he's stuck to the script now that he's back in office.

What is the difference between a tariff and a tax? Nothing.
An income tax is forced on every paycheck without your consent . You can choose not to buy imported garbage when it gets too expensive. Less taxes let you keep your money. Tariffs change your buying habits.

Trump has already said that it is highly unlikely that the national debt is as big as we are conditioned to believe that it is.
Huh? What?
Can you post the exact quote ?

Why only $200K and below? If it's eliminated, and I hope it is, it should be eliminated. Not eliminated for some, but not others
For starters, doing this reaches a larger segment of the population. I saw a shocking breakdown when Trump first stated this that said approximately 90% of American households make less than $200k.
In addition, this keeps the talking point that he's trying to help his rich friends by eliminating their taxes off the board.
The reality is it will most likely be some sort of tiered adjustment to the current tax bracket. Right now, you pay 10% on the first $11,600 (single filer), 12% on any income from $11,601 - 47,150...
There have been reports that the $200k is too big of a swing, and his administration is now lower that figure. My guess is the first adjustment will be 0% on the first $100,000, 10% from $100,001 - $150,000, 12%, 25%...

Trump says US may have less debt than thought because of fraud
quote:
U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said his administration was examining U.S. Treasury debt payments for possible fraud and suggested that the country's $36 trillion debt load might not be that high.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said administration officials who have been combing through payment records in an effort to identify wasteful spending have turned their attention to the debt payments that play a central role in the global financial system.
"We're even looking at Treasuries," Trump said. "There could be a problem - you've been reading about that, with Treasuries and that could be an interesting problem."
He added: "It could be that a lot of those things don't count. In other words, that some of that stuff that we're finding is very fraudulent, therefore maybe we have less debt than we thought."
It was not clear whether Trump was referring to debt service or other government payments made by the Treasury Department.

Congressional Republicans don't have the testicular fortitude to make such a massive legislative move.
I did say it was wishful thinking
BUT
As MAGA grows
So does the balls of congressional republicans
You can see it everyday in interviews with the fake media
Remember a short time ago, nobody ever thought the fake media would die….well
Remember when and till this day, most conservatives thought nothing would ever happen to the evil democrats….well, sit back and enjoy
Remember when Trump told the evangelicals to get out and vote
They won’t have to vote again
Remember when Trump said we are entering the golden age
Enjoy
It’s happening
The Dem party is already dead
They just don’t know it yet
Watch the real news
I watch many black conservative podcasts (men and women)
They know
Trump is winning on every level
The democrats are stuck to being….
Pro war
Pro crime
Pro men in women’s sports
Pro transgender
Pro higher taxes
Pro every 80-20 issues
Some are 95-10 issues
They are dead
They will have to blow up their party and start over
This is not to be against you personally in anyway
I’m just feeling it and have been waiting for it
God Bless America!
