DC Swamp cuts the throats of the American Needy while propping up corrupt Ukranian strongman

Truly sickening.

The midterms are over - time to f*ck America.

Omnibus Bill hits many MEDICAID recipients HARD

"As of April 1, Medicaid agencies conducting redeterminations for people enrolled in the program can result in a termination of Medicaid coverage,” said Jack Rollins, director of federal policy at the National Association of Medicaid Directors. “Whereas right now since the Covid-19 public health emergency started, states were not allowed to terminate Medicaid coverage."

Millions at risk of losing Medicaid in the spring under provision tucked inside $1.7 trillion federal spending bill

Under the funding bill, states could start reviewing people's Medicaid eligibility on April 1 and terminate their coverage if they no longer meet requirements.

So America's poor, no doctors for you.

The 110 Billion sent to the Ukraine could easily have paid for this Health Coverage.

Omnibus Bill Would Bring U.S. Taxpayer Aid to Ukraine to $111 Billion

The $1.7 trillion omnibus bill would bring American taxpayer spending to more than $110 billion on Ukraine aid in less than one year alone.

BTW, this is NOT Politics. It is a bipartisan decision.

ALSO....


Omnibus Bill hits SNAP recipients HARD

"If the spending package passes, families who have benefited from boosted SNAP benefits will lose an average of $82 per person, per month.

The elimination of the program is expected to hit senior citizens hardest, with people who receive the minimum benefit seeing their monthly benefits plummeting from $281 to just $23."

Now, I understand some of you lack sympathy.

But the poor I know are not lazy, nor druggies. They are mostly older Americans, disabled. Who really need help.

If you are going to just print money, shouldn't the worthy poor be your first choice ?

Not another study of LGBTQ+, not abortion, not reparations, and certainly not $$$,$$$,$$$ to a corrupt Ukranian dictator.

I am simply astonished at this. A democratic majority deliberately hits medicare recipients in favor of a corrupt government overseas. And the press goes along with it!!! What happened to the democratic party being the party of the little guy? Proof the democrats have become the party of the rich and connected. What has happened to this country?

Whoa whoa whoa. Let's understand what this Medicaid thing is really about.

Covid rules allowed ineligible people who were making far too much money to remain on Medicaid, costing the US billions (in NY alone, up to 2 billion). All this does is say now Medicaid can restore the program to cover the neediest, and not those who make enough to pay for insurance.

This is a good thing.

As to Ukraine aid, yeah that's pretty bad.

I will concede that when the intent is to help the needy, there are always those that do not deserve the aid at all.

The stories of abuse that I saw when I helped out at Food Pantries would shock you.

And I regret to say digusted me so much I quit helping altogether.

That's because the charade is just about over. When the physical dollar dies, so will all the welfare.

How about all politicians don't give a flying fuck about any of us? Or are you still deluding yourself?

 

[repete]

Follow the money, how much of a kickback do Medicare recipients give compared to Zalinski?
Just one way to look at it. I have 2 grown children , each with thier own families. My daughters has two kids one is special needs and both are home schooled and they get nothing from the Gvmt.
My son is on his 2nd marriage with a child not his , Momma has spent her whole life on the 'system' and gets xtra $$ from Gvmt. because he (now) 15yo has PTSD! Not only that but during Covid she got xtra $$ because he didn't get 'free' lunch at school. As I understand this new bill will cutt some of the extra 'moma' gets and I'm all for that.

 

[CaseHardened]

Mansions and Paris Shopping Sprees for the Zelensky's.

And a considerable kickback to Biden and the DNC, no doubt.

Marie Antionette was a piker in comparison.

After a few dozen you could have bought your own chickens. It’s ridiculous.

The travesty here is just like the travesty of the $1.7T bill. Avian flu had "decimated" the laying flocks, they media screams - and in the same article, they say:

As a result, about 37 million egg-laying hens — “layers,” in industry shorthand — have died since the beginning of 2022, Moscogiuri said. They account for about 10% of U.S. production, he said.
Egg quantity has cratered in lockstep. About 8.8 billion eggs were produced in September, down from about 9.7 billion in December 2021

So 10% of the birds have died or been destroyed, and production is down just a little over 10% - but prices have gone from $0.99 to $1.25 up to $4.50 and more? I call bullshit. It's just another way to fuck the proles over.

Not far enough. Snap shouldn't exist. The right amount of snap is $0.

They're reeeeeally not gonna like when we hit the last box.

 

[tgenec86]

Properly used and applied, I can't say it should go away entirely. My wife and I had our son before we married - I moved to GA from VA with the clothes on my back and a car payment, and got a job that paid me about $30K. My wife was a part time cashier / cash office at a grocery store. She applied for SNAP because our son had digestive problems and had to be on very expensive formula. SNAP paid for that, and fresh fruit and vegetables for us. No more. No expensive steaks, we didn't buy processed shit, no chips and soda. And after one year when we got married, she went full time, and I moved up, we called the office and took ourselves off - although at our income level we still qualified. For us it was incredibly valuable and very much appreciated. In 1998 the formula we used was around $40 per container and our son went through three per week. The problem is the fucking parasites that make their entire existence off of it. These scum who refuse to work, and screw & dump out more babies to qualify for more cash should be sterilized, then kicked off the rolls.

A 10% drop in supply does not necessarily equal a 10% rise in prices.

That's not how supply and demand work.

It's called a curve, not a proportion.

Absolutely righteous on every count.

Although most of us would gladly support the truly needy, the perhaps one in five that scam the system really bother us.

God Bless.

Ukraine is a corrupt fascist state that banned free speech, free press and a major religion. It also uses Nazi death squads to deal with opposition. What's not to like?

It sounds like you had a legitimate need, I don't think many if any around here have a huge issue with some short term help for someone to get back on their feet. That being said I still think SNAP should be eliminated entirely as a program. Though I should probably expand on that a bit. I think a system rolled into the unemployment insurance benefit should replace it. A system where you need to put in to get out. It would work similar to how unemployment insurance works now. You'd have to meet some criteria to qualify based on both contribution and needs. It would have a time limit, similar to unemployment insurance. Gone would be the leeches who want to sit on SNAP for 10+ years. However people that needed a hand up would still get it. Doing something like this would be the elimination of SNAP, and a creation of a "national foods insurance" program.
