Been doing the 4th down here for the last 11 years. Love it.

I hope the hurry appointments before Biden left office were done with “autopen” and become null and void. What a wonderful day that would be.

These devil judges are pure evil. They know there will never be 67 Senators to vote remove. Pure mental illness to think this way. [Hidden Content]

What happens when a person who loses their Medicaid coverage gets sick. They will go the the ER, and the extra costs will be handed down to people who have insurance

I hear you, and I think that my opinion might change if I were closer to retirement. But the sad truth is that the money that you paid in was wasted. It’s not there anymore. The boomer mentality of “as long as I get mine, I couldn’t care less about what happens to those behind me” is appalling. It’s like those people who are like “but if I got a job, I’d lose my Medicaid.” The Social contract with America has destroyed the American ideas.

None taken, but Trump campaigned on everything in the bill.

So true! @Big girl @CardinalBacker @DCT @Boyz N Da Hood @UT alum < You OK?

SMH!

Was down there once years ago. It’s pretty impressive to see. Enjoy. Happy 4th all.

And also Brock King committed to TCU today.

I paid it in for those ahead of me. The government is the best for distribution, since they are already so far up our keisters, monitoring our bank accounts and what we purchase. Thanks to those hard workers behind me helping me through what remains of my time here on earth. It really works well if there is no fraud and abuse.

"Zero border crossing in May" I find that very very hard to believe. I would agree on it being much lower than before, but not zero.

No offense, but needing the VP to tie break the Senate’s 50-50 deadlock isn’t a mandate. My opinion? No new tax breaks and let the 2017 breaks expire- and cut where we can- but it’s going to hurt. The old “I paid it in-it’s mine” mindset is tired and played out. I had really hoped that my generation (X) would be the ones capable of making the selfless decisions that boomers couldn’t make. At some point we’re not going to be able to kick the can any further down the road. Social Security runs out of funding in 2033… is that when we finally decide to make the hard decisions? Our way of life isn’t sustainable. Why are we cutting taxes on rich people?

Depends on if you’re Airborne or Space Force. By the way, we had the grunts, the squids, and the pukes. What are the Space Force people? Space Pukes?

Newton, La Vega, FB Crawford, Silsbee and Hamshire-Fannett. Who is the 6th top 20 team on the schedule?

Jeffries is a good example. He will always be known for his long speeches that achieved absolutely nothing, while also exposing the fact that he, nor any other democrats, have a solution or even so much as a whim. He never has anything positive to say. With that last comment, you’re setting the bar pretty high.

Region III is gonna be a bloodbath....ton of really good teams

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.
