You can't cut taxes for the wealthy and businesses and balance the budget on the backs of Medicaid, CHIP and Medicare recipients and the Democrats are not going to help vote in that budget.

Why is it the Governments job to pay for the healthcare of people?

I know, they took it upon themselves to go along with Social Security, which the Government also took upon itself.

See how that works? if the Government giveth the Government taketh away. :salute:

Because the government works for the citizens of the USA, not the other way around.

Point being you engage in whataboutism and insults in response.

No, I do not even go far enough, with respect to forum rules.

We non-Americans would give dog dirt for what happens in your country - if your innerpolitical adventures would not affect so many others around the globe and us people over here as well. I cannot stand Starmer, but I leave him alone, leave him to the Brits, for he has no role beyond his borders. I find Trudeau despicable, but Canada projects little to no effects beyond its borders. The US - that is another story. You Americans must not care whether the German chancellors is Olaf Scholz or Friedrich Merz, both play no roles that affect you in any way, and usually you are not interested in anything beyond American borders anyway. But the other way around it is different, we non-Americans cannot afford to not be interested in what happens in your inner politics, for they affect us much more than we even want. Not to mention your foreign politics. You decide the fates of whole countries.

And if you sometimes red my posts in the Germany thread or my posts about the EU, then you know some things about me already that should let you know that I treat the political scum on our side of the pond not differently than yours. Why should I save Trump, whose actions and decisions have even greater consequences for us all?

And since you do not seem to notice it, my view on your country in general is much more differentiated than you make it appear now. And I said repeatedly that I even understand why Trump scores high with some of you, and that I even agree with the aiming direction of some of his innerpolitical actions. I even agree much of his criticsm of Europe, and Germany, and I said that, too. Its just that I also see the dark side of this - personality-deranged - goblin, and the costs are much higher than the gains, it seems to me. In other words: Trump is as subtle as a block of concrete and there is nothing in him that allows to see him "differentiated".

So also in the future you will wait in vain if you expect me to pay respect to your wannabe-master of the universe, and I will not call him a "Sire" nor will I bow the knee to his divine majesty. Squeel to his feet as much as you want, but I will not join you, not now and not in the future. We have had this sort of extatic Führer cult and religious exaltation of a criminal personality derranged lunatic and the celebration of the arrogance of power, and it did not end well. It never does. Germany was not the only example - its just one of the most prominent examples.

You get led deeper into darkness - by a Kremlin-installed insane. Enjoy the trip. One day you will be presented the bill. I hope I then will be far, far away.

Where will that money come from, Medicare? That's a political minefield that will cost the GOP seats in Congress and flies in the face of campaign promises.

You can't cut taxes for the wealthy and businesses and balance the budget on the backs of Medicaid, CHIP and Medicare recipients and the Democrats are not going to help vote in that budget.

As a private company I hope Space-X is reimbursing everyone effected by the DRAs for their delays and diversions as this private company learns from its mistakes.
