it’s 90 days. Nothing is permanent, guaranteed or stable.

Everything he does is 90 days, 4 years or some other thing that can easily be reversed by an individual later.

I’m not ok with shipping anyone to foreign prison camps. There’s zero reason why we should ever do that, with exception of a valid extradition request from another country.

shipping people to a concentration camp in el salvador without any due process sounds like a violation of many laws to me.

3300/6600 here. 6000/12000 out of pocket maximum though.

I’m basically dinged for 3300 whenever I need health services other than a yearly physical or an eye exam.

Every january we drop 3300 on meds for my wife and she gets eaten alive with copays for all her specialist visits.

The $1000 deductible plan my employer offers costs $1062/month for family and you still pay $40 per visit as a copay, and the employer is still dropping that $1500/month - so you’re effectively paying $30,744 to insure a family of 3 and that’s not all-in on expenses. Plus since $1000 is a “low” deductible you don’t get to keep basically anything you put into your FSA, unless you know you’re gonna use it all. Why medical expenses are ever subject to taxes is beyond me. The whole thing should be single payer… we could probably operate on a third of the budget we have today without giving any worker providing care to patients any kind of pay cut. The middle men (insurance) do very well.

They can only make profits off of something like 20-25% of overall revenue, the rest must be spent on “providing and improving” patient care. Hiring bean counters to make sure you maximize your revenue and reject as many costly applicants as possible is part of the “providing and improving” part, so they spend substantially less than 75% of their revenue on actual treatment.

That’s cute that you think $450 a month gets you an insurance plan. At that price it’s subsidized by somebody.

My employer sponsored plan costs me $300 a month and they pay $1200 a month. It’s still high deductible. It still covers next to nothing. My wife’s necessary life saving meds still hit the deductible each year, costing me several thousand dollars additionally.

There is zero chance that tariffs will go away by trump’s own actions in the short term. He’s committed to using them as the method of paying billionaires off with their tax cuts that have us very underwater right now.

The trade deficit is just some smoke and mirrors that they are using to say “look how unfair they are!” and to decline any rational negotiations for free trade.

he might make short term pauses especially if he will get something from it for his buddies, but he’s not looking to use any other revenue strategy. He’s there to cut anything going to people who don’t vote for him or pay him (don’t forget that the billionaires all just kissed the ring with 1M for his inauguration party.) He’s just going to keep the trump sales tax strategy as his method of enriching the wealthy. Life is cheap when you make vast in excess of the taxed bare necessities with interest or dividends alone.
