5% of Medicaid recipients are ABAWD (able bodied adults without dependents) - see pink slice of pie chart. Of the 5%, a very small slice is young men - see bar chart. They're just the new "welfare queens in Cadillacs".

I know that's their line and they're sticking with it, but can we just state for the record that the "young men on the couch" is a sliver of the people receiving this aid. The pie chart shows who's on Medicaid - 5% are "able-bodied adults w/o dependents. The bar chart shows how many are young men.

We grew up hearing & believing that America was the greatest country on earth. Our military might is, for sure, but not so much in these areas. And the bill just passed makes each of these worse - press freedom, gun violence, healthcare quality, education. This is how we make America great again?

They are lying about "young able bodied men sitting on couches", which is their new "welfare queens on Cadillacs". That population is a tiny fraction of Medicaid recipients. Here's some actual numbers, if anyone is still interested in a fact-based reality.

Overall, 30.82% of Americans support this policy with strong support from Republicans and little to no support from the rest of America. Those red voters in this chart represent ~48% of all voters.

We already spend the lowest % on social net programs with the lowest tax rates in the world. Republicans want to cut social net spending even more and lower tax rates even more. This in light of historical data that shows these kinds of tax cuts always add to the deficits & never generate growth.

Not sure if this full image is showing. In summary, it shows that America spends the least on social net programs for its citizens and has the lowest tax rates of developed nations. Now we want to cut our tax rates even more so that we can reduce social net spending even more.

Exactly. He never mentioned fentanyl as a reason for tariffs until January. Less than 1% of fentanyl coming into the US comes from Canada. The media just acts as stenographers and reports what he says without giving readers any actual information. The real reason may be

At the Mt Soledad Veterans Memorial visiting my father in law’s plaque and was stunned to see this plaque honoring a Confederate Army soldier. A person who took up arms against the United States. Who approved this and why? This is disgraceful.
