Your own bill's Section 612 leaves provider reimbursement rates to HHS after enactment. Yet you promise coverage and lower costs now. What rate delivers both the savings and a doctor willing to see the patient?

What a fraudulent doofus—a perfect personification of the fake “America First” movement.

In the private sector, making a loan to someone who is unlikely to be able to pay it back is called "predatory lending."
In the public sector, it's called an "affordability measure."
A top Biden administration economic official is pitching Democrats on a low-down-payment proposal to bring millions of new homebuyers into the market, as incoming congressional leaders take stock of affordability measures that might help them notch early legislative wins bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

"Okay guys, we just won a huge Senate majority because a bunch of moderate voters in red states who are sick of Trump voted for us. What's our opening move on policy?"
"I know! Let Elizabeth Warren ban credit cards!"
Let’s cap credit card rates at 10%. Take action on affordable housing. Protect rural hospitals. End price gouging.
Democrats have the bills ready.
@SenWarren says now it’s up to Trump to work with us and get things done.

Rent control helped hollow out America’s cities. It was so destructive that state legislatures either pre-empted it or created exceptions things like permanent exemptions for new construction to reverse the damage.
Read — quite literally anything — other than a manifesto.

Mark has worked to eliminate all competition.
Supports bans on the construction of hospitals and continues to push for the elimination of healthcare facilities outside of the largest health systems.
Then asks, why is healthcare expensive.

But what about suffering for the higher bad?
Former Sen. Rick Santorum blames the midterm results on selfish voters who were unwilling to "suffer financially for a higher good": "Nobody likes to do it, but we all suffer." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

I just bought a $1999 refrigerator.
It would have been about $1649 if not for the federal tariffs tax which I (not “South Korea”) paid.
I also paid $155 in sales tax.
Total cost $2154. Of which 25% is tariff tax and sales tax.
To pay for it, I had to earn $3,420 in gross salary, of which $1266 went to fed and state taxes.
So for $3,420 in labor I got a refrigerator worth $1,649 (48%).
52% went to the government in taxes.

Another instance where Donald Trump and Elizabeth Warren agree on an idiotic policy

The Cowboys have lost 1.47 win probability just on field goal attempts this season -- dead LAST in the NFL (and almost double the next-closest team).

Undercover ATF agents went shooting with David Koresh nine days before the deadly Waco raid. One agent even allowed Koresh to shoot his pistol.
The ATF would later claim that a paramilitary raid was necessary because Koresh was too dangerous and elusive.

Brandon Aubrey is now 14/24 on 50+ yard field goals since the beginning of last season.
58% hit rate is the second-worst among all kickers with 15+ 50-yard attempts. Only Harrison Butker (44%) has been worse.

The Cowboys best two offensive drives of the game came in hurry up before halftime and their final drive of the game.
Turn the speaker off Dak.
