I just found out that Disneys Snow White was funded by USAID. What the hell?
I just found out that Stormy Daniels was paid off with government funds!! What the hell?
Then why was Trump tried for that action? Also there is a Congressional fund set up for extortion demand, mostly for Dems.
Again, grow up Jeff.
What did our stable genius say about Elon’s emails related to what workers are doing?
“What he’s doing is saying, ‘Are you actually working?’ And then if you don’t answer, you’re sort of semi-fired or you’re fired, because a lot of people are not answering, because they don’t even exist.”
Trump will no doubt repeat his lie that only 6% of the workforce is “in the office”. This lie originated from Sen Joni Ernst (R-IA) using a severely flawed survey. According to the OMB, only 10% of the 2.3 million workers are FULLY REMOTE. 54% worker fully in the office, leaving 36% are hybrid.
Part of this is pure right-wing projection, and a self-own. THEY would cheat and steal if THEY could, so they expect that everyone else will.
Ellie,
100% of the workers should be in the office unless their tasks absolutely require they be absent.
E.g. ICE officers rounding up illegal aliens.
The feds pay about 69% of the Medicaid expenses in America.
These states receive the highest percentage of their expenses by the feds.
New Mexico
Mississippi
Oklahoma
West Virginia
Kentucky
Arkansas
Arizona
Idaho
Montana
Louisiana
Missouri
Alaska
Alabama
Nevada
Michigan
It makes sense that the poorest states receive the most federal aid for healthcare. In 2024, Trump won all but New Mexico. If Congress tries to save a few hundred BILLION from Medicaid cuts who will get hurt the most?
Your point Jeff? I think they need to drastically cut Medicaid.
I don’t rely on Medicaid, so it won’t hurt me or my family. Medicaid covers care for the poor and also in-home or nursing home care for older Americans.
Would cutting 80% of the healthcare upport for the poor in Louisiana hurt the state?
Probably would hurt the poor. Then they can get a job and pay their way. Or move up north. Actually moving would be better. Wait, you said hurt the state, you mean by reducing welfare and crime, we need to get this going.
That’s right. You claimed you used to ‘treat’ stupid and lazy blacks. How did they pay?
Your slip is showing Jeff.
Pooter,
Medicaid allows rural communities to survive. How much longer do you believe urban and suburban Americans will tolerate supporting the ruralites?
Most of a state’s tax receipts come from the cities and surrounds. If the Feds stop paying for rural healthcare, nursing homes and in-home care do you believe the city folk will agree to higher taxes?
State income taxes tend to be very regressive putting even more pressure on the working poor.
Every Republican policy is intended to enrich the rich and impoverish the poor.
SO? The poor can get jobs. Pay taxes, support themselves. Or leave.
Ellie,
100% of the workers should be in the office unless their tasks absolutely require they be absent.
E.g. ICE officers rounding up illegal aliens.
Ellie,
Well duh….
They are call cities and ‘burbs because most people live there.
And because most live there then there will be more tax money collected there.
Actually sales taxes are more harmful than income taxes to the poor.
Kinda simple.
ELLIE
Medicaid is not age sensitive. It is based on household income and health care needs.
Please try and understand before you type.
Oh… it’s okay then.

I appreciate Dowd’s concern about Medicaid.
A Medicaid and CHIP state plan is an agreement between a state and the Federal government describing how that state administers its Medicaid and CHIP programs. It gives an assurance that a state will abide by Federal rules and may claim Federal matching funds for its program activities. The state plan sets out groups of individuals to be covered, services to be provided, methodologies for providers to be reimbursed and the administrative activities that are underway in the state.
When a state is planning to make a change to its program policies or operational approach, states send state plan amendments (SPAs) to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for review and approval. States also submit SPAs to request permissible program changes, make corrections, or update their Medicaid or CHIP state plan with new information.
Now as to the states he mentioned receiving the most federal dollars as a percent of their overall budget.
All the the states Dowd listed have a total population that does not exceed California’s combined. That means their tax base is very small. In some of those states their population is less than 1 million combined citizens.
My daughter lives in Idaho. The education system there is very, very poor. The parents have to pay for everything. Including sports. They are all constantly begging relatives to buy something from a fund raiser so the varsity sports teams can actually compete. One of my grand kids is a female wrestler. She weights like 100 lbs(didn’t want you to think she was some slovenly behemoth, in fact it is amazing how beautiful a young girl she is…but I digress) but her dad was a state championship caliber wrestler(never was a state champion but went to the big dance 4 straight years) growing up so all his kids want to impress daddy.
Now I say all that to say this. Many tax dollars we are finding are getting diverted to other things. Even conservative states have agendas, pet projects and other such nonsense that I highly doubt every dollar is going to medicaid that comes from the Feds.
Rooting out federal waste, fraud and abuse hopefully has the same effect on state and local governments. Don’t get me started on my trash guy who comes by at 5 am this week and noon next week.
