Big Beautiful Bill passes the Senate....goes back to the house.

Changes or no changes, it is what it is, or will be

 

Republican Tullis said he would not vote yes because his state will lose $26 billion in healthcare coverage alone. The amount of losses across the board to everyone in this country except a handful of rich people is obscene. The claim that it is the worst legislation in American history isn't in any way based on hyperbole.

 

It's still gotta get through the house again.

Of course the 'expurts' said that it probably would not get through the lower house the first time.

meh.

Success of the tariff war with Canada?

Sure glad I don't own stock in the employment market:

What do you think is going to happen to them when the debt bomb goes off?
Whether it's the Inflation Reduction Act, or the BBB the result is going to be the same - am I right?

History books are written by the nations that WIN wars - and nobody as yet answered my question about how a nation with a California-style economy in terms of taxes and living expenses can afford to build cars and send them to America at a profit.

(Maybe it's because they do not allow some of OUR products in without a 200% tariff? )

The US and Canada share the world's largest contiguous border.
We can keep fish-slapping each other with news clippings that support each other's opposing points of view but one thing is for certain - the US and Canada WILL keep trading.

Sometimes?
Even punches.
