So it's your take that Trump is opposed to a work requirement for able bodied Medicaid recipients? That doesn't sound like himTrump apparently told the GOP caucus not to touch Medicaid, which is a problem for the most conservative members.
The issue is entirely political. The GOP does not want to cut Medicare because everybody ends up with it and it would kill them even with their base.
But Medicaid is for poor people. Much narrower base. Still, Trump is smart here because the imagery of cutting medical care for poor people is a really, really bad look.
A Biden administration report said upwards of 15 million people could be on medicaid that aren't supposed to be. This should be a bipartisan issue.

you think this gig lasts 10 years? not me. We are just paying back 1.5T per year of some of those low interest 3% notes, remember when the pols said it was a great time to borrow? and borrowin* now to just pay our debt.I think 10 years would be secure, heck 30 would still be a safe bet IMO. I wouldn't give a squirt of piss for anything longer if they even sold them.
They need to look at defense. They also need to raise the age of taking SS. It's nuts that SS is available to folks at age 62. Problem is there's about 5 fiscal conservatives in Wash DC and Trump isn't one of them. Rand Paul and Thomas Massey are but there's not enough of themYep.
But you need to face the reality that there are not enough places to cut to come up with a way to effectively address it.

Like a freight train and getting exponential.
Yep.

Owner of Trump’s Qatari Air Force One Linked to Bob Menendez Corruption Scandal
The plane's owner, former Qatari prime minister Hamad bin Jassim al Thani, is known as the 'Thief of Doha' and has a history of Terrorism Financing and shady deals
The owner of the Qatari plane that may soon serve as President Donald Trump’s Air Force One, Qatari royal and former prime minister Hamad bin Jassim al Thani (HBJ), is linked to the bribery case involving former senator Bob Menendez.
HBJ uses jets with tail numbers P4-HBJ and A7-HJJ. The former is the plane set to be handed over to Trump and was pictured in photographs taken when Trump toured the jet in February. The Washington Free Beacon identified both P4-HBJ and A7-HJJ as HBJ’s planes by reviewing flight details and the former Qatari prime minister’s social media posts. Over a period of several years, HBJ and one of the two planes are in the same place.

New Trump vaccine policy limits access to COVID shots
The Trump administration said Tuesday it will limit approval for seasonal COVID-19 shots to seniors and others at high risk pending more data on everyone else — raising questions about whether some people who want a vaccine this fall will be able to get one.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Tuesday it will limit approval for seasonal COVID-19 shots to seniors and others at high risk pending more data on everyone else — raising questions about whether some people who want a vaccine this fall will be able to get one.
If Trump is able to get SSA tax free, I will take it ASAP. If my wife didn't fight me on it I would take it NOW, because... yes... I can do far better taking the money and investing it than I would waiting until later. But keeping the wife happy is more important.You'd be surprised. Quite a few 'cause some analysts will tell you to pocket those 5 yrs, invest it...
It's amazing that with all that is coming out people are still taking those shots.Some people are going to lose their minds
