Yeah really easier. I’d like to see Trump try to survive on $5 a day. Average price of a Big Mac, fries and a Coke is $9.29, but can be as much as $12.49 depending on where you live.

Trump keeps throwing out trillions of dollars, regardless of the topic. In this regard, I sincerely doubt that Trump could even write out $2 trillion. In case you’re wondering here it is: $2,000,000,000,000

If you made $100 million a year, it would take you 20,000 years to earn $2 trillion.

I’ve heard from the rabbit in my back yard who loves my young plantings, that it’s willing to consider leaving them alone so they can grow. I’m waiting to see if working together ever materializes.

By “saving the day” the Democrats get no thanks and the American people don’t learn anything that helps them stop voting against their own self interest.

Not only that but so far the tariff tax on Americans amounts to about $200bn. The national debt rose the fastest under Trump 2.0 to $38tr. His “pay down” is 1/2 of 1 percent of the debt. But wait. He gave $40 billion to Argentina, so it’s even less. The tyranny of big numbers in an addled brain.

He’s telling the world he doesn’t understand the concept of insurance, regardless of the risk that the insurance is being issued for. Take your pick: health, flood, fire, tornado, earthquake, theft, hurricane, plane crash, car crash, boat sinking, etc. What a doofus!

Or voting for on November 4th.

Thank you for your principled stand.

And not mutually exclusive.

But it can’t happen until 2028.

If the ACA subsidies are never extended the ACA itself will collapse, which is Trump and his band of sycophants goal. They will accomplish what they couldn’t while Sen. John McCain was still alive.

Dude is beyond worthless. There are only 3 options to explain Schumer’s behavior.

1. Incapable of leadership
2. Controlled opposition
3. Both

We are a two fed family, so no income for 40 days. I am incandescent with rage about the Dems caving.
