President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Do you think he wrote the press release? The quote is so boilerplate it sounds staff written.

 

I guess you're quibbling with the employers part, which is a mistake but not automatic proof of deficient IQ. But as for the underlying premise ...

Preventive care benefits for adults

 

I bet he fucking read it!

There is no evidence that he didn't know what the department did.

The story doesn't back up the headline or the lede.

And the one guy quoted says they misconstrued what he said:

 

From that link ... "These services are free ..."

NOTHING is free. Whether you pay a co-pay or co-insurance, you're paying for those services. It's moronic to pretend otherwise.

 

The original quote you complained about said "without charging people anything for them." That is an accurate statement in the way it describes how the transaction goes down at the time those particular services are delivered. If you want some clunky disclaimer attached about no free lunch and the laws of economics, etc., then you are really no different than the liberals you mock for wanting language policing. You just have different sacred cows.

 

Cuts are coming:

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized, while the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely.

Overall, the blueprint being used by Trump’s team would reduce federal spending by $10.5 trillion over 10 years.
...
At the Department of Justice, the blueprint calls for eliminating the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, Violence Against Women Grants and the Legal Services Corporation and for reducing funding for its Civil Rights and its Environment and Natural Resources divisions.

At the Department of Energy, it would roll back funding for nuclear physics and advanced scientific computing research to 2008 levels, eliminate the Office of Electricity, eliminate the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and scrap the Office of Fossil Energy, which focuses on technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Under the State Department’s jurisdiction, funding for the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the Paris Climate Change Agreement and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are candidates for elimination.

Trump team prepares dramatic cuts

 

If you buy a car and the deal includes "free oil changes," do you really believe you don't pay for those?

Saying the law requires policies to provide for preventive services "without charging people anything for them" is idiotic.

 

Knowing people who worked for Perry in Austin, I'd take that bet - and win.

 

After that, there are lots of departments that will eliminate themselves.

More seriously, if they try to zero out OPIC, that's my guess for where Serious Congressional Republicans decide to Make A Principled Decision and show they can Stand Up To Trump. All this drain the swamp talk is cute, but not when there's actual money at stake you know.

 

Some of the audience you respond to believe it's a great deal when the grocery store sells two gallons of milk for $5 compared to the $2.50 per gallon it usually costs.

 

Herbert Hoover, ooh ooh, doin' homework with you...

 

You post things lacking evidence all the time, so you have no business bringing up such complaints.
