  4. "However, he noted that about 1.3 million Missourians rely on Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and contended that most were working." that's enough folks to sway an election, being my last point wonder how many people in WI and MN are under the same programs...
  5. 'fun'... my guess is it never sees the light of day, but he'll be able to say 'see, I tried... for you my fellow Missourians' so he can get reelected...
  6. yes... and the chatbots on their websites are usually as useless as tits on a bowling ball. I have the unpublished phone numbers to our local UPS and FedEx distribution centers if we need shit found asap, as you're right... there's no actual humans to talk to with either for the general public. feel free to blame snake and viper as they cut anyone who could possibly help you to pay for their lavish pensions...

  15. I'm not here to defend Biden... but I'd love to watch you back this claim up. how's the MCDS doing today @Doug ?
  16. as we've discussed... bust the balls of those utilizing illegal labor, make them 'aware' there are legal paths to guest workers and their requirements to employ them. institute harsh... seriously harsh penalties for those caught employing illegal labor. neither have I, which puts a spotlight on those farms that are being raided. where's the list of those names and guilty parties? no punishment or fines levied? wtf, right? I have empathy for those here legally working who are scared and concerned. Illegal, not so much. we've somehow created this 'need' for cheap foreign labor and it's time to address it imo. also, if the administration showed they care about the issue they'd take a two pronged approach of deportation and strengthening the existing programs. win-win imo
  17. Trump may have broken Wall Street In TACO we trust? Of like *waves hands wildly* all of this has ever happened. And the empirical evidence may be showing that markets, like everything else, can become so conditioned to chaos that all the old rules no longer apply. "Markets appear to be getting accustomed to a pattern, most notable in the area of tariffs, in which the Administration threatens fairly radical action, only to dial it back when the initial market reacts negatively,” Jonathan Doh, professor of management at Villanova School of Business, said in an email. “In each successive round, the responses have been increasingly muted.” This is the much-buzzed-about TACO trade — the idea that “Trump always chickens out” — that has proven profitable this year. If there’s a Trump-related sell-off, investors buy the dip, wait for Trump to change his mind or scale back the offending policy, and then ride the rally. (Increasingly, though, investors are skipping the whole panic-selling part and just assuming nothing Trump says is real until some watered-down version of it has actually happened.) To be clear, even though stock markets shrugged at reports of Powell’s imminent firing, the news did provoke some movement in the currency and bond markets. Wednesday morning, before Trump’s denial, gold, the classic safe haven, and long-term bond yields went up, while the dollar fell almost 1%. Those reactions are pretty much what you’d expect, said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, though he noted that “in theory, the bond vigilantes should have reacted more vigorously,” to the news. (“Bond vigilantes” are investors who use their buying power to signal their disapproval of a policy — they were a big reason why Trump decided to pause some tariffs for 90 days back in April.) But stocks’ relatively muted response, he said, could reflect some troubling dynamics on the Street. First, traders may be signaling that they are more excited about the prospect of lower interest rates (the No. 1 thing Trump wants from the Fed) than they are worried about the central bank’s protection from the political fray. Stock investors, he said, may be “so enamored with the idea of lower rates that they don’t care if they come as the result of governmental interference.” Which is a pretty wild idea! When I asked Sosnick if the Fed’s independence may not be as precious to the market as market participants have long claimed, he said: “I will assert that central bank independence is critical, and I think that I’m not alone with that belief,” he added. “But maybe not.” More worrisome, perhaps, is how the Trump administration perceives the market’s reaction. “We have to wonder if the earlier report was a trial balloon designed to see how markets might react if Powell were indeed fired,” Sosnick said. “Quite frankly, the relatively muted reactions from stocks and the 10-year bond might have increased the president’s willingness to take action, since the initial reaction was hardly catastrophic.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/17/business/wall-street-trump-fire-fed-powell-nightcap
  18. all valid points... and wouldn't it be smart to focus on fixing, improving and revitalizing our guest worker programs in conjunction with deporting those here illegally?

  20. The lawmaker said that he did not have a problem with some of the marquee changes to Medicaid that his House Republican counterparts wanted, including stricter work requirements, booting illegal immigrants from benefit rolls and rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in the program that serves tens of millions of Americans. However, he noted that about 1.3 million Missourians rely on Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and contended that most were working. "These are not people who are sitting around, these are people who are working," he said. "They’re on Medicaid because they cannot afford private health insurance, and they don't get it on the job." "And I just think it's wrong to go to those people and say, ‘Well, you know, we know you're doing the best, we know that you're working hard, but we're going to take away your healthcare access,’" he continued. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/its-wrong-hawley-warns-senate-gop-not-boot-americans-from-medicaid-trump-megabill that was back in June @airflite1
