Sad that you come from the world of total dependence on the federal government and have no clue what paying your own way and not burdening others with your problems even means. By the way, deadbeat ER charges have always been passed down to those with insurance, smh.

Astros sign relief pitcher Hector Neris. He will be available for today's game. Houston sent down RHP Alexander to AAA to make a roster spot for Neris. This is Neris third stint with Houston. He pitched for the Angels and Braves this season.

It was Ft Bend Crawfords first varsity season… all Freshman-Juniors I believe

Would have been good. But, didn’t accomplish it. 14 states plus D.C. offer Medicaid to illegal immigrants. All of them are Democratically led States. The Senate Parliamentarian stopped the Bill from not paying for any because of procedural issues. All the Bill was able to do was to cut Fed matching from .90 of every dollar to .50 of every dollar for uninsured ER visits. (So, taxpayers in Texas will still be paying for medical care for illegals in CA and 13 other states.) Thus, one of the major reasons the Bill costs more than originally planned. That, plus some last minute pork they always find a way to slide in. Dems or Reps. Both do it. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

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.

Kicking illegals off.

Pretty much factual!

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.

"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.

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.

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.

I am so sorry. My heart bleeds for you. Maybe they will let him keep his benefits since he is disabled. Hell i might not have a job. I work with disabled kids who have Medicaid. My poor kids need the help. Now a child,14 years are older, has to work. What a sad day.

congratulations! The Cares Act was for 2.2 Trillion and the Consolidated Spending Bill 2.3 Trillion combined for the wild spending that occurred during COVID. The laughably named “Big Beautiful Bill” will add as much to our debt (4.5T) as both of those two monsters combined. “Conservatives” sold us out.

This bill is only cutting waste,fraud and abuse? Your saying no pork? Pshh yeah right

This bill will be cutting my son's benefits. Not good.
