Well, I was right about health care costs going up. And that's just health care.

T





My health insurance is free and has been free LONG before Joe Biden* fucked up the economy with the Inflation Reduction Act and ARPA.

And when/if I lose it by not working 20 hours per week, I will sign up for the ACA and it will be covered 100% with the low and/or zero income I'll be making anyhow.



I live off of $7,500 a year dude. Easily.

Don't ask me to cry for anybody else.

Yep, China is retaliating against "unreasonable" tariffs by boycotting our soybeans. Considering they've been dumping (i.e. selling below cost) many of their products and putting up non- monetary barriers to imports, I wonder what constitutes a a "reasonable" tariff to them? Soybean farmers definitely need support. Unfortunately the Dems have decided to shut down the government over things like healthcare for migrants https://www.zerohedge.com/political/democrats-get-frantic-over-trumps-
racist-mexican-bandito-memeand
expanded ACA premium assist.

AFA the ACA premium assist ... ACA was Obama's abomination. Instead of Medicare for all (and reforming Medicare) or Medicare option, he caved to the insurers and tossed everyone not already in Medicare into the maw of private insurers with a sweetener of govt (i.e. tax dollars) money.

The 2021 expanded premium assistance was another Biden* giveaway.

More people signed up for insurance, but 40% of new enrollees never sought health services.

In other words, health insurers were getting more premiums, AND MORE GOVERNMENT MONEY, FOR NO SERVICES WHATSOEVER. FREE MONEY.

If we're really going to MAHA one thing we need to do is stop hemorrhaging $ into big pharma and insurers.

The whole setup is a big wet sloppy kiss to insurers and needs to be reformed. Cutting out insurance companies would help reduce that 30% that's spent on "administration" and the other 10% on profits.

I see you're sourcing zerohedge again. It means your source is shit. Therefore, your post is shit. Lies and bullshit are all it is.

The ACA is always getting slammed by you guys. It added 20 million people to the ranks of the insured. Here’s the point that shows how full of shit you are. The republicans voted more than 50 times to repeal it. Each time they promised to introduce a much better plan. That bullshit started how many years ago? I’ll tell you. It was March of 2010 when the Affordable Care Act was first introduced.

So comrade, where is their beautiful new and better bill? The one they've been promising since 2010? You're so full of shit. And so’s your post. Trump said it again. During his campaign he would first, create a bigger and better plan before he fucked with health care.

Never ever do you call the republicans and Trump out on that. And they've done it more than 50 times.

Oh yeah China. This all happened before when Trump was president. He had to bail out the farmers. And the moron did it again. And you didn't see it coming? Worse yet, this time the soy market is not coming back; it's gone. Trump made a huge mistake, a huge mistake.

Your bullshit agenda is transparent comrade.

Dude. Seriously?

Did you already forget or just don't realize that Taylor Lorenz herself already outed Midas Touch as a propaganda outfit paid for in full by George Soros?

You posting their bullshit clickbait here everyday is even worse than when you were spewing NeoCon propaganda via the Lincoln Project every day.

Get some help.

All anyone needs do is prove what I've posted as being wrong. Somehow that never happens. Accusations, but never facts to show I'm wrong.

When you make stupid statements like "Trump is destroying EVERYTHING he touches" all anyone has to do is prove one thing NOT destroyed to prove you wrong, silly.

Made in America’ Crushed—7 Shutdowns Signal Total Industrial Retreat

The U.S. manufacturing sector shrank for the fifth month in a row in July 2025. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported a Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) of 48.0, down from 49.0 in June. A reading below 50 signals contraction, meaning production, orders, and employment are declining.

Factory employment dropped to its lowest level in five years. Companies face rising costs linked to tariffs and shifting demand. This contraction is shaking the foundation of America’s industrial economy.

Plant closures ripple far beyond factory walls. Local tax revenue falls when major employers shut down, reducing funds for schools, roads, and municipal services.

Nearby businesses such as restaurants, shops, and suppliers lose customers and contracts. Entire towns can struggle to stay afloat when anchor manufacturers disappear. This isn’t just an economic story; it’s a human story affecting communities across the country.

You've said that before. I'm still waiting for you to prove me wrong. I post and post and always bring the facts. And the thing is, you act as though I'm making the shit up. You're a complete moron. Here is more evidence Trumps tariffs are destroying companies across America. Common comrade moron, show me I'm wrong.

You don't bring any facts, ever.

Everything you ever posts ends up not being true and exposed for the lie it was.

That is the ONLY fact here.
