    Keep reading the thread, amigo, he later claims 30 million. Try to keep up. But whether he claims 20 or 30 million, both are hilariously wrong.

    BTW -- your command of language is shaky. It really hurts your ability to convey thoughts.


    GOOD DAY

    24 million Americans are on Obamacare
    21 million Americans are enrolled in expanded Medicaid coverage which the 2021 stimulus bill increased funding for.

    Tens of millions of Americans are about to see their Healthcare premiums skyrocket but don't worry guys we got 20 billion to prop up the Argentine government LOL.

    Merica first my ass

    Where you are falling short is not understanding what's happening. For the middle class and up, government is no longer providing the enhanced ACA benefits. But these Americans are not losing their health care. They are losing their government-funded health care insurance. Private market insurance is readily available and these are the people that can afford it. You act like they'll die in the street, when in fact it's simply moving many who can afford insurance to a private solution. People's health should not be impacted.

    And then it's also kicking off illegals and the physically able-bodied who refuse to work -- this is across multiple handouts.

    All of these things are consistent with reducing the size of government... and reducing inflation by shrinking the budget deficit.

    Imagine telling a working class family that having their health insurance premiums double by hundreds of dollars each month is no big deal while we funnel trillions of dollars in tax cuts to the top 1%.

    The average American doesnt have hundreds of dollars a month to spend on Healthcare. They will cancel their plans thus leading to more sickness and death.

    Its just crazy how out of touch MAGA are with the working class

    The deficit is substantially higher this year than it was last year. We arent reducing the deficit.

    Quit spreading your propaganda on the forums. Nobody buys it

    There's a means test to see who is dropped from the enhanced ACA subsidies. So this does not apply to the working class. Another dishonest portrayal... a common theme from your posts.

    The tax cuts will spur considerable growth and lead to MORE tax revenue... just like the first Trump tax cuts did. Again, you fail to consider the second order effects... a common mistake made by amateurs.

    The enchanched ACA subsidies gave free Healthcare to individuals making less than 36k aka folks who are right above the poverty threshold. These are the that will be hit the hardest as they dont have hundreds of dollars laying around to pay for expensive Healthcare. The "means" testing is their income which will lead to millions deactivating their Healthcare

    Again tax cuts dont provide more revenue. The bush tax cuts did not lead to additional revenue and neither did the Trump 2017 tax cuts. Quit lying

    Weakest September for job creation since 2011?

    Someone needs to tell Trump ... right after they tell Trump that Portland is not America's Gaza.

    Stock market at ANOTHER all-time high! Of course job growth will be a touch slower with the DOGE cuts and the deportations... But everyone sees the long term benefits here -- which are REAL wage growth, lower inflation, and a streamlined and more productive government.

    Economic growth is robust and the future expectations are even higher, with tailwinds from tax cuts, trade deals, and pro growth Trump economic policies.


    GOOD DAY

    Why would people need stimulus checks? I thought that people were prospering?
