Yep... Math. "In short, if they don't want to cut Medicaid (or CHIP), and they don't want to cut Medicare, the goal of cutting $880 billion is impossible,"

Spreading disinformation? Pssshh! Trump and his goons are the masters of that. https://www.reddit.com/r/QuiverQuantitative/s/gK8Y8ZP1fk
What are the Dems saying about the big drop in egg prices? I believe the cost of a dozen eggs is now below the price left by the Biden administration. Does this get blamed on the Trump administration?
I believe the price of eggs was around $8 when Trump took office. Here is the link for current egg prices. Current Egg Prices - $7.68 per dozen It says current price is $5.51 Per dozen if you open the link. Pretty substantial drop.

Prices are higher than Bidens last full month (December) and higher than the month split with Trump (January). All media outlets are pointing to higher upcoming prices... head over to the price thread.

A lot of people who didnt vote for it might be harmed as well. The sooner we stop rooting against Americans, the better.
Problem is, we arent really investigating much. Right now its more of a cut off the dog's tail because it Itches, before you look for the flea.
Rooting against? Sure, I can agree we shouldn’t do that. I don’t consider it rooting so much as cause and effect teaching a valuable lesson. Not dissimilar to touching a stove top burner. If you don’t feel the pain will you exercise appropriate care in the future? Probably not. So I think there’s a utilitarian purpose to people or areas that voted for this to feel the brunt of the effects.
Again this oversimplifies the whole thing. There are people on Medicaid that are conservatives (socially for instance) that are left with a choice to vote against their beliefs in order to have Medicaid. Its not like there is a voting lever for "Medicaid". So they often vote their principles...which we should...at the harm of something they may need. This is the sad reality of a two party system that cant seem to agree on anything for the sake of winning.
