Comment on A year after Trump's near-assassination, friends and allies see some signs of a changed man
Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com 1 week agoYou think it’s disorganized, but it is part of his plan. We saw this last time he was in office.
Studies have shown his tariffs did not increase inflation. So why bring up misinformation?
I am not wrong. I am right. It is costing too much money and we cannot afford it. It is bad spending.

You’re right, inflation hasn’t increased yet, but it will. Trump knows this, which is why he’s demanding that companies simply eat the increased cost. (Link Link)
This is the other problem with how you’re trying to argue this. You’re simply denying the inevitable long-term effects because they haven’t yet fully materialized, but one can look at the trade deals happening outside the US to see the writing on the wall. (Link)
This is also the same reason that the negative effects of the BBB aren’t scheduled to kick in until after the mid-term elections.
To take advantage of misinformed people like yourself.
As for health care, again, you’re wrong. Every other major country on earth pays less and has better outcomes than we do, so monetarily and in terms of public health, what we can’t afford is the disastrous public-private partnership that currently exists, because all it’s accomplishing is killing people and fattening up CEO’s.

We don’t know if inflation will increase or not. It isn’t guaranteed to raise inflation. The last time it didn’t raise inflation. This time they do not appear to be driving inflation either.

I don’t care what every other country does. That is a weird response. Other countries tax their rich less and their middle class more. Would you be happy if we did that? If not, then stop talking about different countries.

LOL
Told you so: Inflation accelerates in June as investors eye tariff-related price increases
Another proven lie by our demented president that you swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

Oh no! Less than 1/2 of 1%. The world is ending.
So now you are against taxes? I am confused, were you against tariffs when the other president did them? Or just Trump?

I get that, but it’s a stupid notion, especially when we can observe that every other major country pays less for health care and gets better health outcomes. It costs less to fly to Europe and get an MRI than it does to drive to the doctor up the street and get one here in the US. In most countries medical bankruptcy doesn’t even exist.
It’s absolutely silly that you think it’s a good thing that we do health care differently than the rest of the world. Taking pride in doing things differently than the rest of the world, and also in a way that’s observably stupid, is unreasonable.
LOLOLOLOLOL, now you’re just being absurd. Every other major country provides far more to the middle class for the taxes they pay, whereas here in the US, we don’t adequately tax the wealthy AND do not provide value to taxpayers for the taxes they pay. In return for our generosity we get a few hundred billionaires and war in seven countries at once.
I guess you have GoFundMe when you can’t afford your insulin, so there’s that.

It cost 25 dollars to get an mri. What a hospital charges isn’t what you pay. You pay what the final bill states.
That is false. So easy to prove you wrong and maybe educate you a bit on the topic of taxes

In reality, these European tax systems do not fit the American progressive image because their higher revenues are overwhelmingly raised through steep income, payroll, and consumption taxes on the middle class.
Moreover, top rates imposed on corporations and wealthy families in the U.S. often exceed OECD averages
