There rural red state voters are gonna love this Americans who comprise the bottom fifth of all earners would see their annual after-tax incomes fall on average by 2.3 percent within the next decade, while those at the top would see about a 2.3 percent boost, according to the analysis, which factors in wages earned and government benefits received. On average, that translates to about $560 in losses for someone who reports little to no income by 2034, and more than $118,000 in gains for someone making over $3 million, the report found. Martha Gimbel, the co-founder of the budget lab, described the Senate measure as “highly regressive.” The disparity owes largely to the fact that Republicans aim to pay for their tax cuts by slashing programs for the poor, including Medicaid and food stamps. The cuts amount to one of the largest retrenchments in the federal safety net in a generation. But the savings they generate only offset a fraction of the total cost of the bill, which is expected to add more than $3 trillion to the federal debt by 2034. Republicans have continued to defend the package as a win for all Americans. On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the bill as a “deal for working people,” saying on Fox News that it would protect Medicaid. But the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office previously found that nearly 12 million more Americans could become uninsured by 2034 if a recent version of Senate Republicans’ bill were to become law. That includes Medicaid recipients, who could lose benefits because of how Mr. Trump and his party aspire to retool the program’s funding structure.

How many more presidents of elite university scalps will you be satisfied with. Perhaps if they put a dunce hat on them, put them on stage and beat them to death. Or just run over them with a car like in that nothinburger white supremacist rally there that you downplayed because "you live there". were you on campus for the student protests? How big were they? Set your recording device: https://www.tvpassport.com/tv-listings/stations/fox-wahu-charlottesville-va/4256. Never heard of it, right? -

look at the districts with the highest medicaid enrollment. WV, Ky, NC, SC, Georgia, Southern Ohio, Miss, etc. Even WNY. Cali is a significant outlier. Even if it's 50% of 100mil, that's potentially 50 mil voters. https://www.kff.org/medicaid/issue-brief/congressional-district-interactive-map-medicaid-enrollment-by-eligibility-group/
