Peter Marks leaving is the best thing to happen to children’s health in many years. This is the dope that recommended Covid vaccines for children as young as 6 months without a single randomized controlled trial. He is certainly not a legitimate scientist. His mistakes resulted in many children and young adults suffering from problems more severe than a bout with Covid.
Thoughts on taxing the rich? This debt thing sounds bad.
Tax the rich. Their incremental tax is next to zero.
Elon has lost (invested) by $200 billion tanking our government.
Just think how much money he is planning to steal from the taxpayers with that kind of investment.
I recognise the hardships that come with economic struggles like unemployment, job loss, inflation, housing market instability, political uncertainties, and the global impact of conflicts and wars. Making ends meet during such times can be incredibly challenging. To navigate this difficult period, considering alternative job prospects, enhancing skills through online courses, and expanding your network can heighten the chances of securing employment. Moreover, prudent budgeting, exploring available financial aid programs, and seeking assistance from community organisations can offer some relief. How are you currently tackling these challenges? Have you implemented any specific strategies to cope?
The only way I could do that was if you wanted me too I could come and pick it out for the girls to go out with me but you could come over here if you’d rather not
American dream? What American dream? The American dream is dead with Trump in office.
Stop scaring people with the debt. Get an education moron Modern Monetary Theory says otherwise.
How about closing loopholes, deductions and exemptions?
The American dream is already being destroyed, we still have an opportunity to save it, unless demoncrats continue obstructing every single attempt to save it that is… Would have been nice if they actually supported what the American people voted for…
I could care less if this country collapses
Out of control spending? Like trump spending 20 million to watch half of the superbowl? Like trump spending 150 million traveling to his golf clubs to golf between 2016 & 2020? Like trump traveling to Florida 7 times the first 8 w3eks in office to go golfing at s few million each trip? That kind of spending or are they just concerned with spending that isn't for them?
Really, this guy just voted to raise the debt ceiling 4.5 trillion dollars…what a liar
Maybe ask the orange one stop spending like a drunkin sailor.. Mr. 8 trillion !! 4 yrs
On the same path again..
….he doesn't tell the viewers that 80% of this national debts is owned by the rich americans who make millions of dollars from this ionvestment .. he also doesn't tell the viewes that things like medic aid and social secturity is nort contributing or taken in account in relation to the nationasl debt………………….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3tZXu7tDsk..
Doesn't trumpy have concepts of a plan????
What American dream??? The one where we can’t afford housing or healthcare and wages are stagnant. And wealth inequality is worse than it’s ever been before. Tax the rich and corporations their fair share
remember, Joe wears a toupee
Tax cuts for the rich and gut Medicare. Great idea if you want to destroy this country.
Same BS why don’t pay the debt.
Republicans have lied about this for decades. They don’t care about “the debt.” They care about tax cuts for rich people and cutting spending on the poorest. Their proposals are cutting taxes by much higher rates than they cut spending which is clearly going to raise the debt. They don’t care about. They want a society of 1% rich people and 99% of people who will do anything to survive.
here instead of beating around the bush….. go ahead and eliminate Medicare/Medicaid all social programs no fire department nothing eliminate it all to pay for your huge tax cut for the billionaires…. there truth is out…. that is all they want….There will be NO benefit for average people working 2 or 3 jobs… table scraps. The new world maga order….I got mine F the rest…
Cassidy is another clown.
Eisenhower had the corporate rate at 90 percent. That encouraged companies to reinvest for the tax write off thus creating more jobs and boosting the economy. What we do now is ass backwards unless you’re a billionaire.
TAX THE RICH!
oops, bit of a slip there with the "cut". Of course, there will always be savings available within any large organisation, whether that's government or Space X. But get it done in a legal, efficient way. "correcting" mistakes which ideally wouldn't have been made in the first place is a pretty inefficient way of doing it.
Sen. Cassidy forgot to say that the tariffs imposed by Trump will be the greatest hike in taxes for Americans in decades.
Why do they bother talking to these clowns. He'll vote for whatever the president wants which, in my opinion, will raise the debt. The federal budget cannot be balanced by going after discretionary spending. There are very few (perhaps none) members of congress who are serious about addressing federal spending.
SINGLE PAYER NOW MO-RON!!! A five year old knows this…. the only way we can control our spending…
gotta love the GOP and their non stop debt mongering while they dont want to collect taxes, cut spending or do anything useful
wasn't joe pushing the bax and then he got gangrenous choly? lol
everyone: we have to cut govenrment spending for medicare, medicaid
me: how about ai doctors which have been proven to have less misdiagnosis and better patient care
ama: not that way
Real story here is that US consumerism is out of control. The notions of untaxed incomes and wealth, and, at the same time, massive government program spending are contradictions.
Tax cuts should ONLY BE CONSIDERED after the deficit is eliminated, and the debt repaid.
