Dr. Oz now the CMS administrator (Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services).

Scammers signed up at least 230,000 Americans to ObamaCare(ACA). Medicaid patients enrolled in multiple states.







Oz: “Last year, we had 230,000 Americans who are on the Affordable Care Act, the Obamacare plans, who didn’t know it! They found out when the IRS agents called up and said: ‘You guys have this free program in your family, did you know you have it?’”

“Brokers had given them these programs, made money off the U.S. Government—they had no idea it happened.”

“The state of California has taken tens of billions of dollars from the federal government providing ‘free health insurance’ for illegal immigrants in California, “We are going to get that money back!”

“There are programs like this that we’re witnessing day in and day out, where Medicaid patients are enrolled in multiple states and the federal government doesn’t know about it.”

“So we pay every state for the same person, but we’re not getting our money’s worth—but those people aren’t getting their health either.”
 
Globalism is a failure, but Starmer is just a little weasel saying whatever he thinks he needs to say:





“Globalisation doesn’t work for a lot of working people. We don’t believe trade wars are the answer. This is a chance to show that there’s a different path,” Starmer said, according to the Times.

“Trump has done something that we don’t agree with, but there’s a reason why people are behind him on this. The world has changed, globalisation is over and we are now in a new era,” a Downing Street official said, according to the outlet.
I’ll believe this when I see it. That man is doing his best to hand Britain over to Islamocommunism.
 
Go Montana!!! Kick OUT the RINO''s....

Wish the entire party would do just that!!! Then maybe some decent people would again believe in "Public Service"...

Yep, MAGA purity or bust! 30-40% will win lots of races. But who cares. I mean look how much Musk helped getting MAGA out in WI. Look how MAGA backing in FL went down w/o Trump on ballot. But Go MAGA !! Planned suicide.
 
In case anyone was interested, a "stable" 401k isn't earning any real money after inflation is taken into account.

Even a "stable stock market" isn't what you want if you're trying to make money. You want fluctuations that you can take advantage of at the right times and to be ready for them. It's like surfing. If there are no waves and no wind, you're not going anywhere. You're certainly not getting there faster than the tide is rising.
Thank God Trump is getting rid of stability. 🤣

April 2, 25% tariff on Mexico and Canda extended to all goods
April 3, 25% tariff on all imported cars and key auto parts

“Yeah, I hope Nike's stock goes to zero. Phil Knight is a traitor to his country who enriched himself at the expense of his fellow citizens.

If I saw him on fire I wouldn't piss to put him out.

Knight's big "innovation" in shoe manufacturing was figuring out how to be one of the first people to flood the American market with cheaply made plastic footwear from Asia. Knight didn't make better, more durable shoes; he made cheaper ones by blowing up the native American industry.

Access to slave labor is, in the short run, a competitive advantage over skilled free labor.

In 1990, 10 years after the Nike IPO, there were 85,000 Americans employed making shoes. Today there are only 10,000 and 99% of our shoes are made overseas. The only exception is footwear for the military.

Phil Knight, however, is worth $35 billion and Nike has a market cap of $90 billion.

In other words, the good middle class wages once generated by homegrown American shoe manufacturing have been transformed by outsourcing into equities owned by a small class of investors and one insanely wealthy oligarch.

Global free trade is a way for the powerful to screw over the middle class by forcing them to compete with third world slave labor.

Yes, with high tariffs, Americans would have to pay slightly more for shoes. In return, however, they would be subsidizing good paying jobs and a decentralized industrial base in their own communities.

Global free trade, on the other hand, subsidizes massive increases in asset valuation. If you are one of the first "in on the ground floor" then you can make insane amounts of money by blowing up middle class wages by outsourcing those jobs overseas.

Libertarians and Wall Street types love to call this "capitalism" and the "free market" at work, but in reality, they are defrauding their countrymen out of the opportunity to build products themselves.

Americans are no longer able to make shoes at home. That option is not available to you. How can we call this a "free market" when it constrains our choices?

Outsourcing is 100% a government subsidy. It is a privilege, allowed by the state, to a select few citizens who figure out how to manipulate the international market to their advantage.”
