marco100: Its even worse that that. Folks like Alpha Wolf aren't motivated by market signals to obtain cheaper health insurance nor to change behavior or their politics so as to seek decreases in overall premium rates because they aren't paying the full amount of what they are consuming. Classic free rider problem
Dope1: 100%. He also doesn't get that at some point, since the government is paying for his health care the government will decide what he can and can't eat and how much exercise he gets. They never make the connection Uncle Sam either gets his money or his money's worth.
To say you both missed the point would be an understatement.
If the Republicans actually cared about their base (or ordinary Americans, for that matter), they would have extended the healthcare subsidies.
Instead, the made a decision to extend tax cuts for billionaires. In other words, Republicans are subsidizing lower taxes for billionaires.
That’s the Republicans position. That’s what Republicans stand for. That is their policy. That is their belief.
And, by the way, that subsidy goes directly into the pockets (literally!) of billionaires.
So according to you gentlemen, healthcare costs for ordinary Americans is bad and evil but subsidizing tax cuts for billionaires is good. And where is the money to subsidize tax cuts coming from? Ordinary American’s healthcare.
Now, I usually don’t offer advice on helping the Republicans party, but I’m making an exception today. Please keep supporting tax subsidies for billionaires and taking away healthcare subsidies for middle-class Americans. It’s a winner. Run with it.
Speaking of subsidies, how do you feel about billions and billions in subsidies for American farmers? Why are we coddling the farmers? If it costs more to grow food, then Americans should tighten their belts (pun intended) and pay more for food. They shouldn’t expect their food costs to be subsidized and go right into their pocket. In fact they literally “aren’t paying the full amount of what they are consuming.”
And billions in subsidies for energy companies? Outrageous!! Why are we subsiding lower energy costs for Americans? Did you know that money goes right into their pockets? Horrible!
And this is just scratching the surface of subsidies.
Americans are hurting as a result of the Republican’s economic policies such as endless and ill-conceived tariffs.
The Republican response is to shut down the House, raze the White House, grift billions in fake crypto currency, withhold food from poor Americans, disrupt travel, lay off hundreds of thousands of government workers, and have Great “let them eat cake” Gatsby parties.
Two days ago Americans let you know what they thought of these policies. Keep up the good work.
