There is a bunch of conflicting information about this bill…..I don’t give the CBO much credit due to their track record, and the Democrats won’t even give Trump credit for securing the border, so no one should be surprised they are spewing negativities about this bill….. As for cutting spending….where? The military? The border? Look at what Trump tried with Doge. Doge was going to cut waste, fraud and abuse. That’s seems like a common sense place to start…BUT… ..Democrats and YOU found fault in that. You criticized them for every thing. so, politicians are going to politician…..Trump is using his mandate to do what he campaigned on….like I’ve said before, if he is successful, Vance 2028, if not, maybe a Democrat if ya’ll can find someone half normal.

Not sure how much Texas will be affected by Medicaid & ACA cuts at this time. Texas wasn’t one of the 40 states that expanded coverage & took the Fed bribe money for Medicaid expansion. So, the hit will be a lot less than other states. The ACA looks like it will roll back the extra money for premiums that were added during COVID unless addressed before end of year in a separate measure. So, costs will go up by a decent amount. Also, the original requirement of income verification every year is coming back. (This was the original requirement anyway. You had to prequalify for a plan every year.) The sign up period has also been shortened. For ACA coverage, my recommendation is to use a broker. A good broker won’t charge you anything as they’re paid by the insurance companies via a ‘headhunter’ type fee. We’ve always used TXInsurance.com LLC. Husband & wife team. Been around a long time & provide a great service. They handle everything for you. No cost and you never even have to fight with Healthcare.gov. They do it all.

A financial explanation about the debt from someone knowledgeable. I’m for moving what can be moved to the State level after means testing to make sure it’s even necessary. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. It’s going to be a little painful because many have gotten used to big Fed socialism. A better job could have been done with cuts. But, you hear all the screaming at even what was done in this Bill. [Hidden Content]

[Hidden Content] Rather than just say this is misinformation from the White House, point out specific examples, I’m not a fan of some of the spending either but there’s a lot of nonsensical talking points being floated that folks are simply repeating. Personally, I wish they would start making cuts to Medicaid until it could be handed off to the states that chose to continue it. No need at the federal level and will always be easy to commit fraud.

I am perplexed; as well.

Is the military recruitment skyrocketing, or jumping, because apparently, there’s a difference. 😉

That's going to be a strong district!!!! I hope to make a few of them!!!!

Link doesn’t work for me.

Inflation at a 4 year low. Earnings up 3.8% Wages see biggest jump in 60 years. Airfare prices down 7.4% Gas prices down 38% Egg prices down 60% Child poverty rate down. Household wealth increasing. 1000 new millionaires every day. $14 Trillion new investments commitments coming into the USA. $80 Billion in tariffs already collect from foreign countries. Military recruitment skyrocketing. Zero border crossing in May. 160,000 of Bidens illegal immigrants deported, (75% were convicted criminals) Chinas economy collapsing. Iran's nuclear threat decimated. Wokeism collapsed, patriotism is booming.

I’m just curious. We’re at 37 trillion or so in debt and interest payments on that debt now make up the second largest component of our federal spending. The BBB raises our debt ceiling (the amount that the federal government can borrow, and every scoring of the bill shows that it’s going to make our current deficit spending levels increase by 3.5-4.5 Trillion. Meaning, “we’ve been blowing through cash like drunken sailors, and we’re about to crank up our spending by a couple of notches.” How do yall, as supposed conservatives, come to terms with your elected officials being anything except fiscally conservative? I’m genuinely confused. Is it a case of “taxation is theft, so I’m for anything that means people pay less in taxes, even if it destroys the country?” Or is more of a “well… it doesn’t seem right, but DJT is a billionaire so he must know what he’s doing” way of thinking? I’m just confused because most of the somewhat observant people that I know who lean conservative have kinda been like “this is a mess… we can’t keep borrowing to pay our bills. It’s gonna kill us” or something along those lines. Were y’all never really fiscally conservative (less spending and less taxes), just focusing more on conservative social issues? My thing is like this… we can’t keep ignoring our deficit spending and debt. They kinda threw the door open to wild borrowing during COVID and liked it, I guess… because they won’t stop. Raising taxes won’t do the trick when 1 out of every 3 dollars the govt spends is borrowed. Cutting taxes won’t spur enough growth in the private sector to allow us to borrow less, either. The only solution is a good old-fashioned belt tightening. We’re all gonna pay more in taxes and the govt will have to spend less or this thing will never get fixed. I just don’t understand conservatives who believe we can pay less taxes, borrow more heavily to cover our expenses, and assume it’s all going to work out in the end. It’s baffling. It’s like my old friend who kept buying new vehicles. His plan was to buy high, sell low, and make up the difference in volume.

Happy 4th, everyone!

Celebrating another 4th down here on the beach. One thing about being down here, don't have to buy fireworks. Plenty being shot for us to watch on the beach.

The greatest country in the history of the world is celebrating her birthday. Have a good time and be safe.

I remember that well did not work out good for them.

Are you able to view the military flyovers in S.C.?

Joseph told his brothers, what you meant for evil, God meant for good. Now I am calm.

Ok. I read that Medicaid cuts dont go into effect until 2027, after the midterm elections. Hopefully something will change. Food stamp cuts start in 2028

I will, I haven’t been pleased with spending with any administration, ever. But it’s always about the spending, not one man.

….and I’ll hold you to your concerns with but-buts.

I’ll hold you to that.

Like I said. Keep that same energy. you call it intertwining. SMH

Ok, I’ll be honest. It’s over and done, so let it be. Forgiveness is good for the soul.
